Zero to Coder: A Minimalist's Introduction to Coding
BECOME CODE LITERATE
This book was written to take you from "zero" (absolute beginner) to a novice-level coder in the fastest way possible.
This book will not teach you everything there is to know about coding or JavaScript. It barely scratches the surface, and that is precisely the point.
Mastering the craft of coding is a career-long journey, but being able to start coding and develop a baseline understanding doesn't have to be hard. We feel that most guides out there tend to overload beginners with details that are distracting from what matters in the beginning.
INTERACTIVE EXERCISES
When you purchase this book, you are also purchasing a set of interactive practice exercise you can access through your web browser. 95% of these exercises are automatically tested, so you'll know for sure when you have the right solution.
After reading this book and completing the exercise, you will join the ranks of the Code Literate!
PROVEN TECHNIQUES AND EXERCISES
The lessons and teaching methods in this book were shaped over 3 years of teaching hundreds of beginner coders, both in-person and online through courses provided by First Step Coding — the top-ranked "bootcamp prep" focused in the world.
Each individual lesson was shaped by feedback directly from students.
TOPICS COVERED
- I/O, Variables, Types, & Conditional Logic
- Looping, Arrays, & Iteration
- Objects
- Functions
- Problem Solving & Algorithm Design
- JSON Modeling & Interfacing with APIs
- Debugging Techniques
- Consuming 3rd Party APIs
- Final Project
FINAL PROJECT
At the end of this book, you'll be challenged to prove your code literacy by building a web project according to guidelines. Your project will use JavaScript, HTML, and CSS together to interface with an API and dynamically display real data.
WHO IS THIS BOOK FOR?
This book is for anyone with a curiosity about coding who has not yet learned a modern coding language.
For some people, this book becomes their first step toward embarking on a new career in technology.
For everyone, this book will open your eyes to a new world and enable you to speak about technology at a new level. Product managers, project managers, quality assurance engineers, visual designers, entrepreneurs, and others will find communication with engineers at their workplaces dramatically improved after finishing this book.
