This book covers all the fundamentals of web development. It explains HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and even backend development in detail, making it very useful for beginners. Its hands-on approach is a good way to gain practical experience. It is essential reading for anyone seeking an overall understanding of web development.
A beginner’s guide to learning the basics, even if you do not know the first thing about coding. It covers theory without being dry, and helps readers gain practical, useful coding skills. Some subjects click as soon as they spark your interest, and related ideas come together; with others, no matter how much you study, nothing sticks, and it all resets when you close the book. Web development has been like that for me, and entering code felt tedious. Now AI and no-code tools promise a world
I first encountered web development at school while majoring in data science. This book lets non-majors make easy progress by reading and following along. It is readable, and illustrations are placed well, so the material is easy to learn in sequence. Someone completely new to coding may wonder which editor to use; the book compares options so readers can make a suitable choice. It starts right at the beginning with a section called “Coding, Who Are You?” and builds concepts step by step toward
For people who have studied only publishing and want to build their skills through self-development by moving into software development, this feels like the perfect introductory textbook. Follow the examples slowly and it is not difficult; the video lessons are especially helpful for understanding. If you are afraid of development, I strongly recommend taking it one step at a time.
As a non-major, I found the book readable and not at all boring. Its everyday-life analogies are thoughtful and make it easier for beginners to understand coding. People starting out on their own can lose momentum and feel lost, but the concepts, illustrations, photos, and examples throughout this book make learning easier and more engaging. I think the difficulty is well balanced—not too hard or too easy—and that helped me stay focused and finish. The two authors say they considered how to
Now I understand why the book says anyone can make a web page: it gave me the chance to try something that felt very easy to attempt. In fact, my child benefited even more than I did, and reading it helped me understand what my child talks about. The coding concepts are easy to understand, and I can see how helpful it would be for children to follow the book and practice themselves. I would recommend it as a good book to read with your child.
This book systematically covers the entire web-development process, from basic coding knowledge and an animal-sounds API to building a bulletin board. I was especially impressed by its hands-on approach of writing code instead of memorizing theory. It helped me build a solid foundation in web development, and the many exercises will be useful references for real work. Development is not my main job, but the explanations were so clear that I found myself wanting to try coding again. After
A simple, fun coding guide that solves the beginner’s problem. People hear the word coding often, but for those who have never tried it, it can remain unfamiliar no matter how often they hear it. That was how coding felt to me. I am studying coding with difficulty through Easyspublishing’s Do It! series and trying not to give up; if only I had found this book then, I might have started coding with more fun. It is packed with useful material covering not only frontend but also backend and even
I recommend this book to anyone who wants to start studying development but does not know where to begin. It focuses on frontend development and introduces frontend frameworks one by one, helping readers decide what to focus on next. The examples are explained clearly, making this a great book for understanding the concepts.
Jo Dong-geun et al.: Do it! JoCoding's First Web Development
“People say asking questions matters in the age of AI, but I have no IT knowledge and do not know where to begin.” “I want to learn coding, but I do not know how!” JoCoding, Korea’s leading coding-education YouTuber, is here for people curious about web development, non-majors who want to learn to code, and anyone else interested. Once you learn how the web pages you see every day are made, coding that seemed difficult can become fun, and you can discover what web developers do. Rather than memorizing theory, this book guides you through the entire web-development process by writing code and practicing. Finish the book and you will be able to say, “I’ve built for the web!” It breaks web development into five steps. Using HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Node.js, and SQLite, you will build a bulletin-board website and deploy it online. Video lessons are also available for readers who find the material difficult, and they can help with understanding concepts and completing exercises. Review and quiz sections throughout the book support efficient learning; solve the problems yourself to strengthen your grasp of the fundamentals. Starting web development with this one book does not have to be difficult.
