Learn JavaScript JavaScript is the brains behind the internet, updating websites, running games, and so much more. This book teaches you the basics of coding in JavaScript by creating The Room Adventure. The Room Adventure Game The game starts as a text-based adventure, going from room to room in a house you create. You find items and use them to fix broken things in other rooms. Once the game structure is set, you can convert your game into HTML, adding colors, images, and you can travel through your house using buttons instead of typing! You can easily share your creations with friends and family! This Book The focus of the book is to teach you standard coding concepts that stretch to any programming language. So even if you switch to another language later, the lessons you learn in this book will benefit you.
