Coding is one of the most in-demand skills in the job market. Whether you're a recent graduate or a professional, Confident Coding offers the career insights and technical knowledge you need for success.

A unique combination of technical insights and fascinating career guidance, this book highlights the importance of coding, whatever your professional profile. For entrepreneurs, being able to create your own website or app can grant you valuable freedom and revolutionize your business. For aspiring developers, this book will give you the building blocks to embark on your career path.

This new and improved third edition of the award-winning book gives you a step-by-step learning guide to HTML, CSS, jаvascript, Python, building iPhone and Android apps and debugging. Confident Coding is the essential guide to mastering the fundamentals of coding.

This book is designed to be as practical and hands-on as possible. You’ll get the most out of it by actively taking part and following every instruction and activity online as we go. There are three different kinds of features in this book to help you learn coding: questions, practice exercises and challenges. The quick questions are designed to help you memorize key pieces of information, the practice exercises make sure that your new skills are honed and developed, and the challenges stretch you to deeper learning. As the book progresses, you’ll find that there are fewer quick questions but more and more challenges.

Why learn jаvascript? If you’re not convinced already, the benefits of learning jаvascript are many. Primarily, it is our first ‘proper’ programming language, allowing us to develop full, interactive apps and websites, rather than just create layouts and static webpages. It’s also very similar to a number of other languages, so once you learn jаvascript, you’ll be able to get started with any other language much more quickly. As jаvascript works in all browsers, you don’t need to download any extra software to get started with it. And it uses classes and IDs, just like CSS, so it’s strongly linked to what you have already learned. It’s a simple language to get started with, but as with CSS is hugely powerful, and so is a great first coding language to learn.

Why learn Python? If you are not looking for a career in coding, you might be wondering if it’s worth learning a second language after jаvascript. The answer is, of course, yes, but why? Learning two languages allows you to see what languages have in common (and what they don’t). Once you know how to create a loop in two languages, you’ll be much clearer on what the critical parts of a loop are. The same is true with if statements and variables. Every language has its own idiosyncrasies, and if you only learn one language you won’t have much insight into what they are. So stick with me – even if you’re not convinced that learning two languages is useful, if you ever have to extract, for example, all the email addresses from a webpage, Python can do that for you.
