JavaScript is the programming language we learn in 11DTEC.
You might not realise it, but dragging and dropping those coloured blocks around in both Scratch and Game Lab created JavaScript code behind the scenes. So you have already created JavaScript programs.
However, we start from the beginning, so it is OK if you have never programmed before.
Learning is done by completing a series of simple mini skill tasks.
If you are unsure about learning JavaScript, you can subscribe to The NETNINJA JavaScript video tutorials & run through them.
NOTE: For NCEA level 1, you are only required to learn a small subset of JavaScript. Online courses like NETNINJA will teach you parts of JavaScript not required for NCEA level 1, 2 or even level 3.
