Snap! and Baserow

Tips&Tricks

I was playing a little bit with Snap!. https://snap.berkeley.edu/

Snap! is a broadly inviting programming language for kids and adults that’s also a platform for serious study of computer science.

Snap! has a lot of libraries and one of them is the web services access (https) library

I didn’t do a test with the Baserow API but a quick one with a joke API.

And it just works

so it will not be too difficult I guess to use it with Baserow for a scientific project or otherwise.

Some other images about accessing an API with Snap! (not made by me)

Have fun playing with Snap! and Baserow.

thanks @Peter

Snap! is really a great language to learn computer science.

I remember a demonstration at Scratch 2017 in Bordeaux of the Turtlestitch programming environment based on Snap !. Here is an example of use with connection to a climate change database.

My first programming experience was actually with Scratch when I was 12. It’s a great tool to teach children imo! :slight_smile:

In the mid seventies, HP-65 with reverse Polish notation, Pascal language on Punched cards. And finally in the early eighties, the pleasure of programming with Lisp and Logo, then I stopped :wink:
