Hello & Thanks;
I haven't been getting the answers I need.
So it occurs to me that I may have offended you(s).
Not my intention, I apologize. 

By "Blockly", I mean the interactive playground, here:

1) Is this the complete operational Blockly? 
2) Is it the most current Blockly?
3) Can I get an operational Blockly, to run on my windows-7 desktop?   If yes, 
can I get it in Binaries(*.zip) as opposed to GitHub. 

I couldn't find an 'gitHub for idiots', so  I don't understand how to use github. 
All I want to do is get a working copy of Blockly.

Thanks..vm

Vmars,

1. The link https://blockly-demo.appspot.com/static/apps/index.html is a demo of the blockly application.
2. I believe the version of blockly running at https://blockly-demo.appspot.com/static/apps/index.html is the latest version.
3. Blockly is not desktop application. It is a web application. There are no binary files. All of the source code is available on both github(https://github.com/google/blockly) and on the blockly project page(http://code.google.com/p/blockly/)
Have you read any of the tutorials in the Wiki? http://code.google.com/p/blockly/w/list
You might want to start with this page: http://code.google.com/p/blockly/wiki/Installation\

If you are not familiar with Javascript you may want to start here:

I hope this helps.
Blake

At the risk of repeating myself,  Blockly, pre se, is not really an application.  It is a code library used for building web applications.  The https://blockly-demo.appspot.com/static/apps/index.html link points to a few such applications that have been built with Blockly and are available at the same source code respository as the Blockly library.
