| It doesn't teach a thing. And what they are trying to teach is not comprehendible. I mean I know to program in Lua fluent... Have been learning it for almost four years... Yea I know that's a lot. They teach programming with cups and give "Tutorials" with code that is pre-written... |

| It is not meant for advanced scripters, it is meant for basic learners who have no idea what to do at all, and it gets more and more advanced for them so that they know the fundamental understanding, it is not meant to teach you how to code like a pro or be a mark zuckerburg jr. |

| I know, I know... But you can't teach anyone the syntax of a language in one hour... |

Plus they wouldn't know how to use the logic such as...
M = Workspace.Model:GetChildren()
for i = 1,#M do if M[i] == "Part" and M[i].Anchored == false then M[i].Anchored = true end end |

| "Hour of code" refers to you practicing one hour every day. I'm serious. |

| Or, at least, that's how they advertised it when I had heard of it... |

| Like I said before, it is for people who have NEVER coded at all, or DO NOT know what to do at all, and it is meant for people to practice an hour each day, then, when they get bored, they will obviously look for something more advanced, it is really more meant to prepare you coding in say highschool or college, basically, ROBLOX is meant to create games, which is why it is far superior and more advanced than hour of code. That is the best way I can put it |

The idea of an hour of code isn't to give someone the tools to suddenly make things.
It's to expose people who might not even know what coding is - to the basic concepts and the big picture.
Complaining about that is like complaining that they taught 6th graders algebra using balancing scales and teeter-totters instead of variables |
