Blockly-C is an online platform designed as a visual-based educational re- source for those learning the C programming language. Leveraging a ’recog- nition over recall’ methodology, it simplifies the intricate aspects of the C language, directing learners to concentrate on the underlying logic rather than getting bogged down by its syntax. Beginners participating in foun- dational programming courses might find Blockly-C to be a more efficient learning tool compared to conventional C programming methods. The aim of this dissertation is to discuss the conception, development, and assessment of Blockly-C. It’s crafted to streamline the C language learning process, incorpo- rating visual programming and an incremental display of program operations and memory configurations. The overarching objective is to offer beginners a captivating and efficient medium to learn C, eliminating syntax-related hur- dles. Furthermore, Blockly-C paves the way for learners to traverse smoothly from visual code representations to the traditional text-based format as they gain proficiency in C programming.
