Welcome to the Summer of Scripting!

I'm Pamela, one of the teachers, and I'd like to welcome you to learning programming on Khan Academy.

I've been learning/teaching JS along with a 11 and 12 year old. It's been a great experience and I hope everyone at Khan continues to provide great, free teaching tools for education/fun!

Hi, Pamela. I'm brazilian and I'm excited about this course.

Thank you.

"I also just love being around a community of people learning new things. I think it's got this addictive energy to it".

This energy is what brought me here! I initially joined Khan Academy for the Arts/History. I saw that I could get some much needed help with math and that brought me to Intro to Programming around 4 this morning. Needless to say, your Excited outfit gave me the giggles. Thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge & encourage others to learn.

Good luck to all of us, Pamela, everybody! And we do need many people correcting each other; this is so important everywhere. Looking forward to the course.

Thanks so much for the summer series. I'm looking forward to really digging into it!

Learning to code in different programming languages is one of my favorite activities to do. Can't wait to work along side you and the rest of the Khan Academy community to  learn JavaScript. This summer is going to be one to remember I can tell:)

Hallo everybody. i'm an absolute beginner from Italy. I hope  to learn something; it's great to be here: thank you Pamela!

[georgeingebretsen]

I am so exited for summer of scripting! I have been programing for about a year now and I love it!

[gwenmta]

Thanks for the invitation! My summer break from teaching just started so I actually have time to invest in learning new things.

Hello, I am the excited to start the course.

[DatRitzBoi]

I really need this. I hope I can stick to this.

[cindyturner]

I am really excited to be learning a new program that is up with the times. I got a Computer Science Degree in 1989, but have done very little with it. I went back to school in 96 to get my Elementary Ed. Degree.  I still am very interested in computers and technology.  I am hoping to write some educational programs some day.

Good luck to all :D i did most of this course over a year ago. but i see things have been added. can't wait to do this. Alss more coding tutorial's have been added since last time i check too. cool.
And if HTML and JS are on khan. Will C# or C++ ever be one(s)?

[Nickanbe]

The #KhanAcadamy is the place to be.

[timothy]

So at 0:33 she say Java Script and Python code.... KA is based off of Python too?

[Jcdlf]

ill take it i took code academy javascript and python but i forgot some of it but im learn to recall some more

[shaunwu]

As a C++ programmer, I would like to point out that python is slower than java (which is slower than C++).
Python is a very easy to use programming language, although I prefer people to learn C++ or Java first. This is because C++ and Java have a more standard looking syntax.

Hi Pamela, I just signed up and looking forward to my first email.   Cheers!

JavaScript again this year? o.o Are we ever going to do Java or something? JavaScript seems like just animations and such, where Java allows you to understand programming more in depth, with classes and objects and etc.
