Wubi Posted August 17, 2012 Report Posted August 17, 2012 Khan Academy is a free online learning resource with more than 3000 educational videos. Everyone is welcome to join any course or lesson on the site. The focus has been largely on math with other science thrown into the mix for good measure. Khan Academy launched their much anticipated Computer Science program which at the time of writing offers 14 different computer science related tutorials. The preferred programming language of choice is JavaScript, but instead of walking you through a step by step instructional course that covers the basic foundations of JavaScript, all commands and examples, you step right into the programming. A total of 14 lessons are available right now that walk you through some of the basics of the JavaScript language. This includes using variables, understanding Boolean operators, animations and drawing. What is interesting is that you can modify code and output in real time to get a better understanding of the concepts. Below the introductory video for instance you find the code on the left and the actual output on the right. While you won’t see all of the code, you get to play around with some of the variables to change the position or color of elements. A pretty powerful environment to better understand how variables and code changes impact the output. Click here to know more or start learningSursa PenTestIT Quote
