    About this ebook

    Are you looking to start coding or teach kids how to code? Or are you looking to make coding more fun with some games?

    This book on beginner html and JavaScript is the answer.

    The last decade has been the year of the programmer. It seems like everyone wants to learn how to code. It seems like the best way to get a job. It seems fun. However, it is not that easy. Coding is a skill; and like any skill it takes time to learn. Like any skill, the younger you start; the better you get. The more you practice, the better you get.

    From my personal experience with coding and also with teaching young kids how to code, let me tell you that coding is very gratifying. It is possible for anyone to learn if they apply themselves over time.

    Creative thinking, teamwork, communication, logical thought and mental growth are the main benefits of learning to code.

    However, programming can be hard to learn. Especially if you start reading advanced books. You need a step-by-step guide to get started. This book starts off with the very basics; how to install the software, set up and write your first lines of code. There are exercises at the end of each chapter that can test your new found knowledge and move you ahead.

    My experience has also thought me that once someone learns the basics, they need a fun way to progress to the next level. For that reason, I have included several coding games in this book; including some fun animations at the end. These games are a great way to move forward after leaning the basics.

    Even if you've never touched a computer in your life, you will find this book useful.

    Introduction

    Rob had been in front of his computer for a few hours. He was in the middle of programming the next version of his JavaScript game.  After making a lot of progress in the last month, he was now stuck. He tried a lot of different things, but still just cannot make it work. This is a common problem in coding. Learning the basics of coding is a good start. Rob read my first coding book a few months ago and he was very excited. Not only did learn the basics well and successfully went through all the exercises; he also implemented some of his own programs and fun coding games. He loved programming; and he was hooked.

    After a couple of months, however, Rob got stuck. He was getting tired and bored. He kept doing similar programs over and over. He struggled with more advanced topics. The story of Rob is similar to those of thousands of kids across America and the world. These kids have the resources and money available to move forward. Some of their parents have spent a month’s salary (sometimes even more) to get their child a laptop to program with. However, both the parents and their kids realize that they need more to get going. There is something missing. Something that is hard to quantify.

    The story of Rob and others inspired me to write the next Javascript book. While Rob might seem to be struggling, he needs to be commended for his effort. Too many of us give up at the first sight of difficulty. We move on from activity to activity with the mindset of a kitten playing with a ball of yarn. The truth is that there is no movement forward in any activity without a little bit of effort and pain. Rob just needs that little bit more, and that’s contained in this book.

    This book starts off with some of the basics to ensure that you have the basic knowledge needed to more forward. We’ll talk about setting up your workspace and doing basic programming and testing. However, this book does have a strong emphasis on coding games, activities and puzzles. These are meant to embed a deeper love for what programming
