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

This book was so helpful for my teenage daughter as she was teaching herself HTML/CSS. It really helped ground the principles and tricky parts of both for her in ways that were approachable and concrete. Heavily recommend for anyone trying to learn.

Hey, everyone - Sam here! The book you see before you is the combination of my two passions - making education accessible and coding! Learners from any background can pick up The Coding Workbook, grab a pencil, and get taken step-by-step through the process of writing the code for a simple website. The Coding Workbook has been a passion project of mine for years, and even if just one person can use it to learn to code, I’ll consider it a success!

I’ve never even attempted to code before this book and now I can say I can successfully build a website! It is written in such a way that makes coding accessible and digestible for all. Would absolutely recommend for anyone of any age wanting to learn to code.
