Welcome

Welcome to the Pui Tak Intro to Programming class blog!

In this class you will learn about HTML and javascript, the programming language that is used in everywhere... on desktop computers, smart phones and tablets... basically everywhere you have a web browser you can use HTML and javascript.

You don't need to buy or even install anything. All you need is a plain text editor and a web browser. Notepad for Windows is perfect.

We will start with getting to know about your computer and how then eventually make it do what you want it to do... by writing programs. Your programs can then be uploaded onto your own blog for the world to see.

There are a TON of tutorial materials out there on the web to explore. Basically just about everyone learn programming by looking around tutorials. For HTML and Javascript, I particularly like this one: http://www.w3schools.com.

At the end of the series, I hope to teach some HTML, learn about functions, loops, arrays, etc.

At the end of the 10 lessons, I'll show you how to create a function plotter that may help your Algebra 1 (and 2) class.

f(x) = (For trig functions, use Math.sin, Math.cos, Math.tan)
