Our Verdict
JavaScript for Kids: Code Your Own Games and Apps at Any Age strikes a balanced approach to teaching coding fundamentals while engaging learners with games, apps, and playful activities. Offering ample opportunities for reflection and growth while catering to various age groups, this beginner-friendly course is an excellent starting point for young coders. However, it might benefit from more thorough explanations, localization efforts, troubleshooting assistance, and independent exercises that ensure long-term retention.
What We Liked
- Competent instructor explains concepts clearly, especially through well-thought-out assignments that build upon each other.
- Perfect video length for weekly sessions with children aged 12-14, making it excellent for kids and adults learning together.
- Excellent pacing and engaging topics keep learners motivated throughout the course, ideal for beginners with no coding experience.
- Reflective moments and notes feature provide a valuable opportunity for self-assessment and revisiting challenging concepts
Potential Drawbacks
- Concepts could be more thoroughly explained, with greater emphasis on 'why' instead of just 'what' to do.
- Lack of language localization options such as French subtitles might hinder some learners' understanding.
- Limited troubleshooting guidance and outdated code may discourage absolute beginners when encountering issues.
- Over-reliance on hand-holding without enough independent exercises for practice to solidify skills.
