Begin to Code with JavaScript

This full-color book will inspire you to start solving problems and creating programs with JavaScript, even if you have absolutely no programming experience. It's not just friendly and easy: it's the first JavaScript beginner's guide that puts you in control of your own learning, and empowers you to build unique programs to solve problems you care about.

Microsoft has completely reinvented the beginning programmer's tutorial, reflecting deep research into how today's beginners learn, and why other books fall short. Begin to Code with JavaScript is packed with innovations, Cookie Cutter templates that give you a flying start, and Make Something Happen projects that help you build skills by creating your own programs, not programs someone else has handed you.

Throughout, Begin to Code with JavaScript balances playful exposition and illustration of programming fundamentals with your own creative input--and you'll never be more than a page or two away from making something unique and personal to you. It will help you:

• Start running JavaScript and understand how it works
• Construct web pages with HTML, and style them with CSS
• Work with and store data, make decisions, and repeat actions
• Use objects and create functions
• Take advantage of pre-built libraries and frameworks
• Create full applications and games--from simple to complex
• Understand the social aspects of software development
• Test and debug your code with What can go wrong sections
• Use practical, downloadable code samples to jumpstart your own projects

Whether you're a total beginner or you've tried before, Begin to Code with JavaScript will put the power, excitement, and creativity of programming where it belongs: in your hands!

這本全彩色的書籍將激發您開始使用JavaScript解決問題並創建程式，即使您完全沒有編程經驗。它不僅友好且易於上手，還是第一本將學習掌握權交給您並賦予您解決自己關心的問題的能力的JavaScript初學者指南。

微軟完全重新設計了初學者的教程，反映了對今天初學者學習方式的深入研究，以及其他書籍的不足之處。《Begin to Code with JavaScript》充滿了創新，提供了Cookie Cutter模板，讓您快速入門，並通過創建自己的程式（而不是別人交給您的程式）來幫助您建立技能的Make Something Happen項目。

在整本書中，《Begin to Code with JavaScript》將有趣的解釋和插圖與您自己的創造性輸入相平衡，您將始終只有一兩頁的距離，就能創造出獨特且個人化的東西。它將幫助您：

- 開始運行JavaScript並了解其工作原理
- 使用HTML構建網頁，並使用CSS為其添加樣式
- 處理和存儲數據，做出決策並重複執行操作
- 使用對象並創建函數
- 利用預先構建的庫和框架
- 創建從簡單到複雜的完整應用程序和遊戲
- 了解軟件開發的社交方面
- 使用「可能出錯的地方」部分測試和調試您的程式
- 使用實用的可下載程式碼示例來啟動您自己的項目

無論您是完全初學者還是之前嘗試過，《Begin to Code with JavaScript》都將把編程的力量、興奮和創造力放在您的手中！
