Blockly is a graphical interface for generating code, often used to teach people basic programming concepts or to help non-coders generate logic for various purposes. Blocks typically have shapes and inputs which correspond to a section of code, which is later combined and saved as XML. The Blockly workspace with blocks loaded into them may be manipulated, and then one of Blockly's generators may be used to generate code for each block based on the programming language you have chosen. There's a good tutorial for it here: https://developers.google.com/blockly/guides/get-started/web

And you can find all of the API reference here:

A minor clarification, Blockly is a library for software developers to use in their apps. If you're looking for learning tools Scratch, AppInventor, or MakeCode are good places to start or check out the list of apps that are built with Blockly.

Hi Navin,

Just to be clear about your expectations, Blockly is a library for developers who are already comfortable with writing JavaScript. You can walk through the steps for creating a project in the CodeLab, but if your goal is to learn Java you might want to start with something like Udacity's Beginning Java course.

Cheers,
Erik
