In the past, I have seen how a simple yet detailed approach to teaching javascript can make a real difference to student's ability to write confidently and successfully in this scripting language. There is no magic bullet to achieve this, other than a clear understanding of students' needs and of what may impact significantly on their progress and confidence. So, everything has been included in this book to make the journey enjoyable and to guarantee your success:

This book, unlike many other books on the topic, assumes that you will, as beginners, make mistakes, and it explains how to either avoid them or how to deal with them when they occur. Because this is what happens in real life, we all make mistakes and learn from them.

This book also assumes that you can't be expected to learn everything at once; this is why all the skills will be built incrementally.

This book makes sure that you keep motivated by providing you with the right amount of information and challenge in each chapter; we all know that it's hard to keep motivated when learning a new skill, so this book always contextualises the knowledge with an example (so that you feel it's relevant), and also makes sure that you get to challenge yourself if you need to.

You will have the opportunity to learn javascript at your own pace and to become comfortable with this scripting language, even if you have no previous programming knowledge. This is because every single new concept introduced will be explained.
You will build your own code.

Every step and all the code is explained in great details so that you never feel lost.

The solutions to the code and challenges presented in the book are available so that you can compare/check your own code.

All the concepts are introduced progressively so that you don't feel overwhelmed.

All chapters include step-by-step instructions with code examples that you can use straight-away
A quiz is available at the end of each chapter (with solutions) so that you can test your knowledge.
Optional challenges are added at the end of each chapter.

So javascript from Zero to Proficiency (Beginner) should really help you learn javascript, and to also enjoy the journey.

It includes three chapters that painlessly guide you through the necessary skills to code in javascript, and implement some very useful features that will add interaction to your page, and improve the user experience.

In addition, many of the skills that you will learn in this book will be transferable to other languages. So, by investing in this book, you really invest in your (or your child's) programming career, by giving yourself access to a method that has already helped over 1000 students to become confident in coding.
