Abstract

Programmers often attempt to use example code in order to fix bugs, learn, and remind themselves of code concepts. Many existing programming environments make text code examples available for the common programmer. Blocks code examples are typically less available within programming environments and harder to re-Appropriate, especially for novices learning independently. This position statement suggests ways of making example code more available and useful to novice programmers in blocks programming environments.
