ONE-CREDIT MIDDLE SCHOOL COURSE
Introduction to Coding introduces the basic syntax and logic of writing in JavaScript. Topics include the three types of data: strings, numbers, and Boolean; variables and performing operations on variables; basic operations; logic operations; and control structures. The course concludes with using procedures to simplify repeated code. Students will explore the practices of arrays, objects, functions, conditionals and loops, manipulating HTML elements, different types of code documentation, as well as giving and receiving feedback from both users and other developers. The process of solving complex problems is modeled from beginning to end as problems are broken down into smaller pieces and addressed through planning, coding, and putting the pieces together to solve the larger problem.
