In this article, we will discuss what DOM entails, why it's necessary, and how to use it to manipulate the content of an HTML document. However, before we proceed, it's important for you to have a solid understanding of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript fundamentals. If you're not familiar with these concepts or need a refresher, you can check out the w3Schools article.

Web architecture may be difficult to grasp as a beginner but with time, everything gradually opens up. For further details on the innermost workings of the web, you can visit mozilla developer network or w3.schools

W3Schools: This website offers free tutorials and references on web development languages and technologies, including HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and many others. It's a great resource for learning the basics and exploring more advanced topics. Access their materials at W3Schools.com.

W3Schools: As a trusted source of tutorials and references, W3Schools helps me to understand more in HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.

To successfully follow through with this project, a foundational knowledge of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript is imperative. If you are unfamiliar with any of these web tools, consider reviewing introductory materials for HTML, CSS, and JavaScript before proceeding with this tutorial. A good resource to explore would be W3Schools, or you can choose any excellent tutorial on YouTube.

Hey, I'd recommend W3Schools. Although not up to date it's a great platform to test out fundamentals and get a small environment quickly for simplicity sakes.

My advice would be to start with a free site, like https://www.w3schools.com/ , choose a language and start. They make it easy. Then, treat AI like a tutor, and ask it questions as needed.

LiveCode is about the closest literal logical successor to HyperCard.

That said, I think Scratch is a better learning environment these days and you can develop workable apps in the style of HyperCard. There are plenty of tutorials, documentation, and examples to work from.

and https://codecombat.com, which has been around for a while now.

I think this paradigm (navigating a character using "move" function invocations) is good but kind of exhausts its usefulness after a while. I question whether my daughter learns coding this way or just is playing a turn based top down platformer. The most code like thing is when you use 'loops' to have characters repeat sequences of moves. I think when kids grok these things these apps become just types of glofiried education flavoured video games. There are a lot of things in kodable for instance that I feel are just basic web games with coding terms slapped on it.

https://scratch.mit.edu/ is more like 'programming' imo, even at the level of the objective -- having a blank canvas to create something. It seems a little advanced for my kids right now though.

+1 Scratch! My son started with it, then expanded into Roblox/Lua.

Children can download other people's games and experiment there. Scratch also has pre-made art, sounds, music.

Scratch.mit.edu is a highly-recommended place to start [1] https://scratch.mit.edu/

> Scratch is the world’s largest coding community for children and a coding language with a simple visual interface that allows young people to create digital stories, games, and animations. Scratch is designed, developed, and moderated by the Scratch Foundation, a nonprofit organization. [2]

Someone who uses scratch.mit.edu (like me)

Now that I think of it, I did start game development on scratch before going right into java (because of minecraft).
