JavaScript is the programming language of the Internet, the secret sauce that makes the Web awesome, your favorite sites interactive, and online games fun!

JavaScript for Kids is a lighthearted introduction that teaches programming essentials through patient, step-by-step examples paired with funny illustrations. You’ll 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, you’ll write games such as Find the Buried Treasure, Hangman, and Snake. You’ll also learn how to:
–Create functions to organize and reuse your code
–Write and modify HTML to create dynamic web pages
–Use the DOM and jQuery to make your web pages react to user input
–Use the Canvas element to draw and animate graphics
–Program 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 you’re 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!

Never to early to learn!

My son recently mentioned something about becoming a computer programmer someday. I pointed out that kids could actually start programming anytime, because there's no age requirement. I thought JavaScript for Kids would be a good place for him to start. This book is part of a best-selling series of “for Kids” programming books, and this one is written by an engineer who uses Javascript for his job at Twitter. It has fun examples, real games that children can program themselves, and it also requires no special software to run. It's filled with cute illustrations and is written clearly and is easy to read.
