Overview
JavaScript for Kids is a lighthearted introduction that teaches programming essentials through patient, step-by-step examples paired with funny illustrations. Youāll begin with the basics, like working with strings, arrays, and loops, and then move on to more advanced topics, like building interactivity with jQuery and drawing graphics with Canvas.
Along the way, youāll write games such as Find the Buried Treasure, Hangman, and Snake. Youāll also learn how to:
āCreate functions to organize and reuse your code
āWrite and modify HTML to create dynamic web pages
āUse the DOM and jQuery to make your web pages react to user input
āUse the Canvas element to draw and animate graphics
āProgram real user-controlled games with collision detection and score keeping
With visual examples like bouncing balls, animated bees, and racing cars, you can really see what youāre programming. Each chapter builds on the last, and programming challenges at the end of each chapter will stretch your brain and inspire your own amazing programs. Make something cool with JavaScript today!
