Abstract
End-user programming provides a unique opportunity to study informal computer science education and knowledge acquisition in the real world. We seek to explore the use of community-based scaffolding to deliver computing content knowledge to an audience of graphic design professionals who engage in scripting. We propose an online community that leverages prepared, instructional case studies alongside tools that promote collaborative development and code review activities.
