What is Oracle? A bunch of people. And all of our products were just ideas in the heads of those people - ideas that people typed into a computer, tested, and that turned out to be the best idea for a database or for a programming language Picture Quote #1

Computer programming has been traditionally seen as something that is beyond most people - it’s only for a special group with technical expertise and experience. We have developed ‘Scratch’ as a new type of programming language, which is much more accessible Picture Quote #1

Programming language is very specific to instructing a computer to do a particular structure of a sequence. It’s the very way you tell the machine what you want it to do Picture Quote #1
