In my own experience, I’ve found that the best way to learn how to code is with hands on experience, in the lesson I will teach it won’t be a I’m your teacher type of lesson, I’ll work through projects with you as you build confidence in what you are learning. Questions are important for understanding once you know how something works you can apply it however you need to and eventually make your own projects without guidance. For these lessons you will need a laptop of decent quality that can run github (this is where we will start your projects) and visual studio, if you cannot install this do not worry you can use a codespace in GitHub that uses the online version of visual studio. In the first few lessons I will run you through basics and necessities in maintaining a program and ensuring that it is navigable and easy to find and debug errors because you will come across them. The first project we will do is a calculator using buttons, this will teach you how to use simple HTML and css along with Java script. Once you have the basics down we will start out first project together where we can build a game side by side and as we do this you will learn how things like game physics work, the games we will make are going to be 2D games such as platformers like Mario however the first games we will make are going to be simple as we work through controlling players and adding maps for the games.
