"Bubble Sort" and "Composer" projects shared!
Hello to the Scratch Forums,
I am new to Scratch, though I have decades of programming experience - punched cards, paper tape, floppy disks, goto-less programming, wondering if relational was better than hierarchical for a database, what is this object-orientation? - I've lived through a lot.
So far I have shared two projects:
BubbleSort demonstrates the bubble sort algorithm, and
Composer lets the user arrange two bars of music and play the melody they create.

Hello and Welcome to Scratch!
For a moment I thought you'd cross-posted a New Scratchers thread. 
Checked out your Bubblesort (and commented).
From what you've mentioned I can reliably place you in the programming/computer industry 10-15 years before me and I've been having a great time with Scratch.
I'm pretty sure you're going to have a great time with Scratch too.
Compared to some of the horror-show code you've encountered, parsing/extending Scratch code, even when horribly put-together, is like walking barefoot through the back-hair of angels.
(and yes, for those who know the Internets I dropped an Oatmeal reference there)
I've been making some space games; it's a computer-science nerd curse.
Space is Big,
Space is Dark,
It's hard to find a place to park
