As a local community member (and a Mozilla tech writer) I am really interested in teaching web development and coding principles to anyone who is interested! To this end I have created two courses:
- It’s my web!: A ten week course to teach the basics of web design (source available on Github.) This course covers the basics of how the Web works and how to create your first web page with HTML and CSS.
- Introduction to programming: Beginning your journey towards learning to code (source available on Github.) This course explores basic programming principles and how to think like a programmer, moving right up to writing something useful with JavaScript.
Both these courses are completely free to use and share, and have been written with a target audience in mind of 10 year olds right up to adult, so try them out if you want to start learning. I am intending also to come to some future Coder Dojo sessions and actually teach some classes in person!
If you want to provide feedback on the courses, you can submit pull requests and leave comments on Github, or contact me on Twitter.
And of course, learning to code and build the Web doesn’t just stop with my resources; we’d love to hear about other resources and build up a library of recommendations.
