TouchDevelop tutorials for UK hour of code (KS2 - KS4)

Below is a series of tutorials I have created for TouchDevelop to support the UK hour of code. These easy to use step-by-step tutorials are designed to introduce students and teachers to coding and range from beginner (no programming experience) to advanced.
What is TouchDevelop?

TouchDevelop is an online app creation tool from Microsoft Research. Originally designed to develop Windows Phone 7 apps, the TouchDevelop Web App now allows you to develop Windows Store apps suitable for Windows 8 touch screen devices and runs on iPad, iPhone, Android, PC, Mac, Linux. There is also a dedicated TouchDevelop app on the Windows Phone 8.
