learning material for scratch
Hi all,
Im looking for any more learning material for scratch if anyone has any suggestions.
I have had a look at the two books currently in amazon regarding learning scratch, but they always end a little too basic.
There is a new book comming out soon:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Super-Scratch-Programming-Adventure-Program/dp/1593274092/ref=sr_1_9?ie=UTF8&qid=1341319415&sr=8-9
which I am tempting to have a look at.
I have used youtube a few times and googled for scratch. but most searches return websites for "Starting programming from scratch" lol and not using scratch 
.
Anyone have any good links of suggestions for learning more programming ways?
I have downloaded some prepared games from the site to see how they work, but I feel like its cheating a little or getting to the end without working through the steps. Id like some kind of step by step guide if at all possible.
Anyway thanks again to everyone here 
Paul

Re: learning material for scratch
well half the book is about learning all the parts of scratch eg blocks saving uploading.
Then it moves on to a few simple projects...
Im looking for a the next step as I dont feel confident enough yet to start working, I would just like a few more tutorials running me through some more advanced games etc...

Re: learning material for scratch
I would say that, even if you don't "fell confident enough", making projects is the best way to learn. If you have problems with a script you can always come to the forum and ask, but I would use the forums sparingly. Puzzling through programs to find the bugs is 90% of what programming is about and thinking of the scripts to solve more advanced programs is the other 10%.
