ABOUT THIS BOOK
What does this book teach you?
This book teaches you how to code using
three essential programming languages:
HTML, CSS and JavaScript. A computer
can be made to do almost anything, but fi rst
someone has to write a program for it to follow.
Programs have to be written in languages
a computer can understand. Coding is all
about learning to write programs in these
different languages.
HTML, CSS and JavaScript are three of the
most important programming languages in the
world. They are used by web developers to
build the websites and web-based apps and
games you use every day. This book will teach
you how to write code and build programs
using these programming languages. In this
book you will learn real-life coding skills you
can use to do all kinds of programming.
