Course Description
There aren’t many people who can both code and write well, so if you can do both, you will find there many exciting, highly–paid opportunities in the technology industry. This course teaches basic programming to writers so that you can begin to document code.
The course uses JavaScript, but talks about other programming languages as well, including providing a survey of common programming languages. It covers common Computer Science concepts, such as variables, functions, conditionals, loops, etc.
You’ll have hands–on exercises in both writing JavaScript code and documenting constants, functions, and enumerations. You’ll end with a final project where you build a therapist bot. (It’s not as hard as it sounds, although it’s really not a very good therapist.)
What Is in This Course?
By the end of the course, you will understand the basics of programming and be able to write simple JavaScript programs. In addition, you will learn how to document constants, functions, and enumerations. In this course you’ll find:
The course takes approximately 4 hours complete, depending on how fast you are with the exercises.

It will be after learning more of the basics
Gopalasv Sv –
Basic programming for writers training so far has been simple, clear and crisp. Liked the way trainer relates to simple examples of receipes often.
Rachael Stavchansky –
The examples are clear, and the course builds well from basic information to more advanced concepts. It’s refreshing to see a course that really focuses on what a tech writer needs to know.
Brian –
Good Match
Amanda Flanders –
Yes, I loved the definition of APIs and SDKs, specifically. That’s something I’ve tried to get my mind around before, without complete success. Examples were great.
Fernando –
I am no expertise for programing , and all information is to new learn for me, and excellent documentation for beginners
Amani Newton –
Very thorough. I believe I will use the knowledge gained here to level up my career. Thanks so much Peter!
Jeffrey –
So far, yes
Brenda Gilreath –
Helpful, big picture introduction
Alexandra Panico –
This is a great course for anyone who wishes to work as a tech writer or improve their tech writing skills. It’s not easy, but you really do learn a lot. I’ve done almost all of Peter’s courses as they are so well suited for anyone who wants to branch into IT from a writing career. The explanations are understandable for non tech people, if you pay attention and work hard!
