Coding for Kids Ages 9-15: Simple HTML, CSS and JavaScript lessons to get you started with Programming from Scratch

By Bob Mather

Are you looking to teach children how to code? Or are you looking to start coding?

 

This book on beginner html and JavaScript is the answer.

 

For the last couple of years, the news keeps talking about the digital economy and how everyone needs programmers. It seems like everyone wants to learn how to code. 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.

 

From my personal experience with coding and also with teaching young kids how to code, let me tell you that coding is a lot of fun and extremely gratifying.

 

It teaches you how to organize, think logically, communicate, work in teams and be more creative.

 

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.

 

And then, we get you a few more advanced skills that can get you started making websites.

 

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

Introduction

It was a bright summer afternoon in Atlanta; and I grabbed my laptop to watch the latest episode of ‘Game of Thrones’ on the porch outside. As I sat on the three-legged chair; I felt a wobble on the rear leg. The leg just came off the stool and I crashed to the ground on my back. Hearing the loud thud on the porch, both my wife, Isabelle, and son, Arnad, came out. Are you ok? Isabelle gasped. I was shaken, but fine, as Isabelle helped me up. I walked inside and grabbed a glass of water to get me back to my senses. To my amazement, I noticed, through the window, my 9-year-old son, Arnad try to figure out how to piece it together. He assembled the leg back in and noticed that the chair was still wobbling. He then switched out the screw with the one on the good leg; and the chair was still wobbling. He finally glued the sliding mechanism that held the screw in place; and that magically fixed the chair. Wow!!

Next, we can talk about Betty. Our neighbour’s daughter, Betty, struggled with Social Sciences for the longest time. Her parents were used to failing grades in this topic; and were relieved each time she got a ‘D’. So, imagine their shock when Betty came back one day with a report card that showed an ‘A’ in social science. Yeah, Betty was a hardworking girl and she did do well in some of her subjects; but this turnaround was unexpected. Then, Betty showed her parents her social science improvement plan in the last three months. She broke down the list of topics she would work on every week; and how she would simplify some of the harder topics with documentaries and group study sessions. She systematically moved on from topic to topic till she addressed all of them.

And finally, we address Carl. Carl was a tennis player at the start of high school. He was

One of the best books on coding I have read. You can really start from scratch, knowing nothing about programming. Most similar books fail to explain the very basics and you get stuck somewhere in the beginning.
Once you get started, there are tons of fun programs to keep you engaged and moving forward.
