JavaScript is the programming language of the internet - the secret sauce that makes websites dynamic, responsive, and all-around awesome. This fast-paced tutorial quickly teaches total beginners how to code in this popular, easy-to-learn language. Light-hearted and hands-on, the book introduces you to programming essentials through fun examples, hands-on exercises, and cool projects like building a Pong-style computer game. You'll discover all of the important aspects of the language (without delving into expert-level nitty-gritty details or confusing jargon) as you develop a fast knack for programming with JavaScript. Learn fundamental JS coding concepts, including objects, functions, arrays, and loops, explore key web programming topics, like interactivity and drawing graphics with Canvas, use JavaScript to make games, apps, and even create music.

Nick Morgan is a software engineer, most recently at Twitter. He started on the web team, writing JavaScript to help to build the main twitter.com website, before moving to writing Scala for the backend Tweets service, where he helped design Edit Tweet and the change from 140 to 280 character tweets. Nick grew up in the UK, and has a degree in Music and Sound Recording from the University of Surrey. He now lives in Colorado with his wife, two daughters, three cats, and one dog.
