Programming tutorial for kids
Now in Russian there is no actual textbook on programming for children (correct, if not right). Therefore, I decided to write it and put it in open access.
Initially, the idea to teach a 12-year-old child something on the computer.
- Programming interesting?
- Yes, I want to make games.
Well, I think we need to find a book, hand it in and wear a hat. But found nothing. All that is - too complicated and boring for the student. It turns out that there is a lot of information on training, but the “threshold of entry” is high, which can be overcome only by studying in-person courses. Okay, showed how to program a simple tennis, I saw that there is interest. And I decided to give lessons, and in passing to write a textbook on programming for school-age children.
The idea of ​​the textbook is:
- javascript as no installation required and having simple visualization features
- practice on the example of mini-games
- simple, accessible explanation of the basics of programming
- a minimum of theory (OOP, libraries, drawing algorithms, etc. is still early)
- version for download (google doc)
- give information on where to go next
At the moment there are 3 parts: Basics (JS, HTML and CSS), Convenience (Functions, Arrays, take-out into separate files) and Design. Only 1 part has been published, but I already need feedback. Actually, because of the need for feedback, the textbook is published as a blog, with the possibility of commenting.

Please constructive criticism. If possible, show the textbook to familiar schoolchildren. We also need links to entertainment projects related to robotics and programming (like fightcodegame.com ).
