Description

Perfect for beginner coders, this highly visual workbook builds basic programming skills using JavaScript, a key language for coders looking to expand their knowledge and move on from Scratch and Python.

Computer Coding with JavaScript explains how JavaScript works and teaches kids how to complete coding actions with clear, step-by-step instructions and fun pixel art. Readers are also introduced to HTML and CSS; find out how to create shapes, patterns, and simple animations; and discover how to make web pages, including interactive pages.

Computer programming is a powerful tool for learning to learn. Just as mastering a language has cognitive benefits, learning code develops problem-solving and abstract-thinking skills. Breaking key concepts into easy-to-understand parts, the book is a great starting point for understanding computers and code, learning how to program, and practicing computer language. Includes coding in Python and Scratch and how to use a Raspberry Pi computer.
