I’m not a kid, but was told this JS kids book could be a good even for adults new to coding.

May I ask, why do you want to start from dynamically-typed non-OOP but Object-based programming language?

    I work with an engineering team that uses JSON a lot for backend API calls. I’m an analyst, so I want to get a better understanding of the API side of things and also be able to use the API for some of my work. So I want to get a base knowledge of the format/syntax.

    Also JS is pervasive on the web built into all browsers and on the personal hobby side I’d like to build a blog hosted on GitHub without relying on Claude Code.

    If you are already comfortable with Claude, you might find it useful to make a JavaScript application using Claude and then have it explain what it just wrote.

    For what it is worth, for little projects I will often use NodeJS to run JavaScript.

    Fudge your Claude.
    You should rather suggest the person how to actually realize the code, flow, and programming.
    Yet you suggest the person to atrophy their mind and degrade the whole ineffably marvelous experience as programming...
