Two editing views

RC Studio keeps its normal code editor. Blocks mode is another editing surface, so experienced users can inspect browser files while beginners stay in the block workflow.

Learning from generated output

A useful learning exercise is to build a tiny behavior in Blocks, run/save it, then look at the generated structure in Code mode. Focus on the idea, not on memorizing every generated line.

Do not fight the generator

If a file is generated from the block model, later generation can replace generated sections. Put custom logic in supported extension points or Advanced blocks only when you understand the tradeoff.

When Code mode is better

Use code for complex libraries, unusual browser APIs or large hand-written systems that are not represented by the current block compiler.
