MineCraft Game, The New Way of Learning Code and Programming

Microsoft and Code.org teamed up to build a tutorial that uses the
popular game to teach kids how to code.
Code.org co-founder Hadi Partovi explains that these kinds of block
commands are how most computer programmers first learn the basics. But
he said the Hour of Code event, which tries to get kids around the
world to spend one hour learning to code during Computer Science
Education Week every year, is about much more than learning the
basics.
