Thanks a lot for the thoughtful feedback, really appreciate it!

I still believe those early 8 bit computers were great to introduce young people to coding. These days we have many options but also lots of distractions. At one point I tried to replicate that coding experience in a browser by implementing codeguppy.com -- I think I had partial success... What do you think?

Simply judging by the fact that you have competitors that are paying to show up in search results for "codeguppy" implies you're quite successful

Thanks for the comments! I know that is a little bit verbose but so tempting seeing that sometime young coders have hard time with {}. I'm concerned though with "unlearning" this trick once they are ready to switch to regular JavaScript.

I built recently a demoscene like demo in JavaScript using my coding platform. Here is the program:

Just press Play.

Having a separate boys club and a girls club would be an acceptable solution.

Hi there -- This is Adrian, the author of the course and codeguppy.com platform. First of all: thank you very much for your feedback.

As of now, the course has 693 slides and covers also more advanced concepts such as closures and classes.

The intended audience for the course are teachers ... but independent learners (especially those interested in p5.js) may find the course useful as well.

I love the old Usborne BASIC books... and the old type-in BASIC program books. I have in my collection a few of those. I love the work of Jeff on converting those old games to JavaScript.

As I mentioned, I'm also impressed by the old Usborne books, therefore I also tried recently to create an illustrated JavaScript course in that style ... See here the first 30%:

To add a little bit clarity to this post.

I started working on a new illustrated coding course/curriculum for JavaScript (slide deck style).

I’m about 30% into the project ... and would like your feedback.
