Want to make games and learn to code? In this course, you design and code practical apps from scratch.

"The instructor explains the concepts well and provides enough examples for me to grasp the ideas."

Your teachers will teach you practical skills using real-world examples. Take this course to build your portfolio today.

Do you want to learn to make web apps? In Part 1, web developer Chris Veillette will teach you how to code in the Elm language to build real websites and apps.

What is Elm?

Elm is a programming language that you can use to build web apps.

Elm is user-friendly, which makes the coding language perfect for people like you who are learning to build web apps.

Elm is a functional language that compiles to JavaScript. Elm is a separate language from JavaScript. This means you must learn the syntax and language rules of Elm.

What are the advantages of Elm?

Elm allows you to write well-architectured code that is easy to read.

Elm makes front-end development simpler.

Elm provides light operations, which means it involves less fatigue than JavaScript. With JavaScript-heavy apps, a lot of tooling and frameworks can be required to make a simple app. Elm provides a lighter operation by being self-contained.

Elm comes with creative built-in tools, meaning you don't have to download other packages

Elm is easy to understand and use once you learn the language

There is a supportive community with an active creator (Evan Czaplicki)

Elm has no runtime exceptions, which can occur in JavaScript. Instead Elm gives you warning messages.

Elm's warning messages are in a readable language

Elm's built-in package manager protects code from minor errors

And more!

You can learn to build websites and apps in Elm. Get started with this up-and-coming programming language.

The second part of this course is on Game Maker. Learn to build games with Game Maker, one of the easiest engines to use on the planet!

"If you have some experience using Unity, you can just skip the introductory sections and skip right to building the game, you'll miss absolutely nothing important, which is good. There's also lectures on designing the game assets in Photoshop, but these can also be skipped if you decide to use the pre-made assets available in the course, so you can really come into this course knowing what you want and save a lot of time. Overall, this was a very brief and enjoyable course for me."
