Welcome

This is a website dedicated to learning computer programming and computer science topics.

The goal is to learn small lessons each step of the way and gain an understanding of programming concepts.

In later chapters, we will focus on using these fundamentals to build a small game.

The lessons will utilize basic web development tooling, with a focus on JavaScript.

Chances are if you are viewing this page, most of these tools are already installed & working.
