YOU DON’T NEED A COMPUTER TO LEARN HOW TO CODE!

This beginner-friendly introduction to web development enables anyone to build a website by writing out code by hand—no computer or internet required.

Once you’ve finished the workbook you’ll have the skills to easily build and launch a website. It’s that easy!

REVIEWS

Read our Q&A with the author!

“It’s a great workbook, and basically teaches people how to code without having to have a computer . . . it would be a great tool for people who don’t have acess to a computer.”
Sister Codes Podcast

“This workbook is everything you need to start coding, even without access to a computer. Sam took this complex, powerful skill and broke it down in ways that make it exciting and easy to learn. It is so organized and easy to understand, making it simple to follow along and apply the skills! The examples, practice activities, and self-checks are all engaging and relevant. I would recommend this to anyone who is learning to code and encourage educators to share this with their students (at any age!).”
