Start Coding! : Make games with JavaScript!

Do you want to learn how to create your own computer games? Then Start Coding! Start Coding is an essential and easy to use coursebook both for those who are just starting out programming and for middle and upper secondary school teachers in need of a strong, simple and effective starting point for students. The book is unique in that it was written by programming educators, tested by educators in the classroom, and translated by an educator. The book progresses from a number of simple exercises in HTML5 and JavaScript, and moves at a steady pace into increasingly difficult tasks for the student to tackle. The specific tasks are designed to be a fun, interesting, and practical means of acquiring an introductory knowledge of programming. The authors, Mikael Tylmad and Pontus Walck, use the coursebook in their programming instruction in both middle and upper secondary school. The authors include the website www.startcoding.io as a useful compliment to the book. The website includes a laboratory for code experimentation, among other useful tools.
