About this listen

Inside, you will find an introduction to JavaScript, HTML, CSS, and SQL. These are computer programming languages. Some of them are more precisely referred to as scripting languages.

Starting with JavaScript, I will introduce you to the above-mentioned programming languages. Hopefully, by the end of this audiobook, you will have the answers to the questions of what it is and what you can do with it.

JavaScript is a programming language that allows for the implementation of complex items on static web pages. Every time you look at a web page that does something besides display static information, it is a pretty safe assumption to make that JavaScript is involved. It is often referred to as the third layer of the cake.

HTML is a relatively simple programming language that, at its core, consists of elements. These elements allow you to distinguish different sections of text as different aspects on your page. Whether it be a paragraph, a heading, a column, or whatever you need it to be - this is accomplished with the use of these elements.

This language is also where you get the ability to create hyperlinks. The use of hyperlinks is very important, especially when you want to be able to direct someone to a specific part of your text or page.

CSS is a programming language that is used to style and structure the layout of a web page. If you want to change your font, color, and background, you may do so by adding an animation or design a specific outline. This is the language you’re going to make use of to accomplish those things.

CSS makes use of the box model - most elements are represented as a box with the content, padding, and borders built-up like layers on an onion. You need to understand the box model before you can begin to understand how to create CSS layouts.

Meanwhile, SQL is a programming language that is designed to work with sets of facts and how they relate to each other. As you might expect, relational database programs make use of SQL. Like many other computer languages, SQL is, in fact, an international standard. However, SQL is easily read and understood even by beginners.

Data sets are described in SQL using SELECT statements. An SQL statement is like a sentence and consists of clauses. Some clauses are required in a SELECT statement.

Useful!

I don't have a lot of time to sit and read these days since I have so much on my plate, so I've been listening to audiobooks! While an audiobook about programming will never be quite as good as reading about it, I found the approach refreshing.

The only real complaint I have about this is that the narrator sounds a bit robotic in terms of stiffness. Other than that, I enjoyed listening to this so I can learn more about programming while I'm on the go!

Exactly what I was looking for!

I wouldn’t normally post reviews but being a beginner in programming, I needed an audio book that I could listen to on the go! The voice was great and the quality of the sound and content were good too! I found the 3hr+ audible very informative and it has really helped me get a good grasp of programming!! Would really recommend!

I am 45 year old badass programer.

I am 45 years old. I wanted a new career path. I stumble across this audiobook. At first it was super hard because i am not tech savvy. But while listening to this audiobook I pulled up the programs needed and i started programming. This audiobook is great if your not good with technology but want to learn programming.

A great book for beginners

I read a lot of reviews before I make purchases but I rarely ever leave them. After listening to this course, I actually want to leave a review because it was really useful to me and I learned a lot. I think this audiobook is absolutely great for beginners and people who are just starting to code. I would definitely recommend this course, especially if you 're looking to learn more about CSS and Javascript.

Outstanding Guide for New Web Programmers

Learning to code can be a daunting task, especially if you're trying to do it on your own. I'm getting back into web programming after a long hiatus. Many things have changed and I'm basically starting from scratch. This fantastic book was exactly the source I needed to get up to speed. Highly recommended!

Great learning guide for beginners

I have never been a computer person and I never thought that I was ever going to learn how to code and program in a computer. I found this book that looked interesting. Its subtitle "from beginner to badass" caught my attention and I gave it a try, even though I was skeptical about it and even more with my computer skills. 3.5 hours of my life and some practice were enough time to convert me from a nobody in the computer world to someone that can program some basic things. I have to keep practicing to improve, but I have this awesome guide to help me.

BECOME AN EXPERT IN PROGRAMMING

How many have I read? Cover-to-cover, none except this one. The book positions itself as something that will simply make you a better programmer by embracing its principles. It assumes you are already familiar with programming and the types of problems faced by a someone working on a large project or a team. It is not an introduction or instruction on how to write a program, more an exploration on how to be a good programmer. I highly recommend it to both new and experienced computer programmer. I hope it helps you as much as it’s helped me.

This book is a life saver!

First of all, let me just say I am a college student and this book has saved my life in my computer science class! It is very easy to understand not just reading, but listening as well. If you are a beginner to coding or even an intermediate coder you will learn almost everything there is to know about HTML, CSS, and SQL.
