A fast-paced, thorough programming introduction that will have you writing your own software and web applications in no time.

Like Python Crash Course, this hands-on guide is a must-have for anyone who wants to learn how to code from the ground up—this time using the popular jаvascript programming language.

jаvascript is the programming language of the internet—the secret sauce that makes websites dynamic, responsive, and all-around awesome. This fast-paced tutorial quickly teaches total beginners how to code in this popular, easy-to-learn language. Light-hearted and hands-on, the book introduces you to programming essentials through fun examples, hands-on exercises, and cool projects like building a Pong-style computer game.

jаvascript is a very forgiving language— sometimes to a fault— and that made it a very gentle introduction to programming for me and countless others. So many people have chosen jаvascript as a first programming language because of how easy it is to get started: it’s right there waiting for you in your web browser!
