Some examples of visual programming tools include:Įarly on, visual programming for user interface-building was an easy no-brainer. The first graphical user interfaces (GUIs) offered a massively easier experience over typing lines into a terminal window, to the extent that most people today buy a "Mac" or "PC" and don’t even think of their computers as distinct from their visual operating systems. The main goal of early visual programming was to make it easier to interact with your computer.
Visual programming has existed for decades and represents another layer of abstraction from the machine language that our computers use when they communicate with each other. Visual programming is a way of representing computing logic through graphics and images, rather than through purely text. However, visual programming offers an alternative way to "talk" to our modern computers. Most programming languages are text-based, allowing coders to type commands to, pull information from, and share that information with their computers. But for the longest time, "talking" to your computer required you to learn its language – a programming language. Speaking with your modern technology has never been easier, now that you can literally talk to an Alexa or Google Home and have a cloud-based program recognize your speech.
