# IntroToJS

Learn to code by making games in JavaScript using QuintOS!

<https://quintos-org.github.io/quintos/>

## Summary

In this course, students level up their coding skills by making games using the most popular modern programming language: JavaScript! No prior coding experience is required. This course was primarily designed for students ages 13-18.

Students develop these games using QuintOS, a retro graphics system I created to make learning to program more fun. The games run on vintage virtual computers displayed in their web browser. As students level up their coding skills, their virtual computer will get upgraded. The virtual computers are modeled after the CASIO FX-702P, Commodore PET, ZX Spectrum, Apple II, GRiD Compass, Commodore 64, Speak and Spell, classic arcade cabinets, and the Nintendo GameBoy.

Students will also learn how to use GitHub to share their games on <https://quintos-org.github.io/quintos/>

I've been a CS teacher for four years and coding for 12 years, since I was 14! Before deciding to teach full time I was a student at NYU and I worked as a Node.js Software Developer at QTUltrasound, a medical device company in the San Francisco Bay Area. I also created [p5play](https://github.com/quinton-ashley/p5play) v3, a JS game engine that has thousands of daily active users and over 500 stars on Github. |
