JavaScript is the brains behind website behaviors. In this book, you learn the fundamentals of the language by creating a detailed "whodunnit" game, Catch the Culprit. A crime has been committed and it's up to the detective (the player) to interrogate suspects by playing minigames and to search rooms for the clues needed to bring justice.

Note: This is an intermediate coding challenge.

The book covers the basics in HTML and CSS while getting into detailed JavaScript. This is an intermediate coding challenge, though it covers all the essentials for a beginner. The book includes access to a coding site, a JavaScript Quick Reference Guide, and a collection of all the code at the end of the book.

The game can be played after completing chapters 3-6. Additional features are included after this point, bringing the entire coding challenge up to 6,500 lines of code!

If you're a beginner who would like to code smaller applets instead of a larger game such as this, check out Coding for Kids: Learn JavaScript: Build Mini Apps, which walks you through JavaScript at a slower pace while creating fifteen apps.
