Do you want to learn to code but have no idea where to get started? This book was created after many years teaching middle and high-schoolers how to code and observing where they struggled to learn certain basic coding concepts. In this book, we introduce coding in easily digestible chunks so you do not feel overwhelmed or discouraged. It will guide you through writing your first program with carefully worded explanations and helpful pictures. At the same time, you will learn the fundamentals of coding, including repeat loops, variables, functions, if-statements, recursion, and lists. All programs in the book are created with Scratch, a coding language developed specifically for beginner programmers by scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Scratch is free and runs in an internet browser, so you do not have to buy or install any special software on your computer.
