The goal of this guide is to be the easiest and funnest way for a beginner to
get started programming. To this end, we have made 3 innovations that
set this guide apart from all others:
- Program right now in your browser: You can edit and run
any of the examples directly in your browser. No downloads or software
installs, ever.
- Publish your programs on the web: This guide will teach you how to publish web apps at your own domain name so you can share your creations.
- All JavaScript: JavaScript is the most prevalent programming language in the world, and AppJet lets you write entire web apps using this single programming language for everything.
