Become a cloud developer — and have fun doing it!

This full-color guide will help you start creating cloud-based apps and games fast, even if you’ve never done it before. Not just friendly and easy, it puts you in control of your own learning and empowers you to solve problems you care about. Microsoft and author Rob Miles have reinvented the introductory tutorial, reflecting deep research into how newcomers learn. Begin to Code is packed with innovations, from debugging challenges to step-by-step Make Something Happen exercises replicated as YouTube videos linked directly from the book. Miles puts code in context, showing how modern cloud applications are deployed and run, how their elements combine into working systems, and how key cloud technologies help you address security, reliability, and scalability. Easy, friendly, and you’re in control!

Learn how to…

  • Recognize what’s unique about cloud-based software and why JavaScript is ideal for developing them
  • Move JavaScript code onto the cloud, and add programmed behavior to web pages
  • Create active sites and generate dynamic web content
