Geared for a slightly older audience, this book should be considered a “ground zero" for new coders interested in learning a variety of computer languages. The first five chapters build up skills by taking the student through simple projects. Each project is a standalone, private web page which emphasizes simple tasks like creating hyperlinks, passwords, API access for other apps such as Google Maps, and even creating a web browser game. DIY tasks at the end of each chapter give students an opportunity to use what they learned and create a final version of each project (with included solution).
Adding some flavor and cohesion to each project is the story of “Professor Bairstone" and “Dr. Day" as they search for the stolen Monk Diamond. To tie everything together, the final chapter shows students how to combine their projects and create a living, breathing website which highlights the recovery of the Monk Diamond! 207 pages.
