This isn't really as beginner/child friendly as one would expect.....Doesn't really have explanations with very little simple examples before dropping a whole game code(with everything just included there CSS,HTML e.t.c) there like you'll just magically have understood it...

I will admit though that it does have links to good useful resources at the end.
