Scratch is a programming language learning environment enabling beginners to get results without having to learn syntactically correct writing first. Created by the MIT Media Lab, it is intended to motivate for further learning through playfully experimenting and creating projects, such as interactive animations, games, etc. Advocates suggest that individuals who use Scratch at a young age develop a solid foundation of knowledge that can help prepare them for the use of higher level programming languages. [1]

The name Scratch derived from the turntablism's technique of scratching[2](Mixing Sounds) and stresses the similarity of the process of programming to the process of mixing/scratching instead of its similarity to the processes of writing (i.e. scripting).

How do you write your own OS from scratch without using c plus plus a windows base software or Linux or any other company just straight from scratch what would be the best software?

I hate to tell you, but the best way to learn how to do it from scratch is to look at what has already been done by others. If you truly want to do it "just straight from scratch" then there is no software out there to help you. You have to do it yourself. ------------------------------------ Additional Information: Nobody has written an OS from scratch in 30 years. Just like you couldn't make a hammer without a tool to forge the steel and trim and cut the handle, you don't make an OS from scratch. The most basic OS would be written in assembler (machine language) and compiled. Then you're writing in mnemonic op code and compiling it down to an executable. You would still need an assembler to write the program in.
