I still believe those early 8 bit computers were great to introduce young people to coding. These days we have many options but also lots of distractions. At one point I tried to replicate that coding experience in a browser by implementing codeguppy.com -- I think I had partial success... What do you think?
Thanks for the comments! I know that is a little bit verbose but so tempting seeing that sometime young coders have hard time with {}.
I'm concerned though with "unlearning" this trick once they are ready to switch to regular JavaScript.
Hi there -- This is Adrian, the author of the course and codeguppy.com platform. First of all: thank you very much for your feedback.
As of now, the course has 693 slides and covers also more advanced concepts such as closures and classes.
The intended audience for the course are teachers ... but independent learners (especially those interested in p5.js) may find the course useful as well.
