Why this is great?

Drawing with code is one of the easiest and most engaging ways to introduce kids to text based coding. An absolute beginner can start writing real JavaScript programs (that draw nice pictures) in only couple of hours.

As a parent you can do this challenge together with your kids.

Can I see an example?

Below is an example of a simple car drawn using codeguppy.com editor. This example is part of a future book about this topic.

Feel free to ask any question you may have.

Happy coding!
