When my father saw that I have interest and I can do something big in coding, he decided to order a JavaScript book for me. So he told me that ‘Saion, let’s select a book of JavaScript on Amazon’. I was really exited so I we opened Amazon and searched ‘JavaScript books for Kids’. There came lot’s and lot’s of results but I liked a book but my father liked a different book. We both liked the books from the same author because they were looking good and their star rating was also good. I picked the book ‘{ Coding For Kids } Learn JavaScript: Build The Room Adventure Game’ and my father picked ‘{ Coding For Kids } Learn JavaScript: Build Mini Apps’. Me and my father discussed for a long time because we wanted our choice of books. I always liked the game mystery rooms and my kindle had mostly mystery rooms games only and my father wanted the other book because we could build lot’s of short apps and he said that we will learn more if we make different kinds of apps. So after a long discussion we finally decided that we will buy the mystery rooms book. Oh god I loved that moment.
AFTER 3 DAYS
My father had gone somewhere and I was eating my lunch
when suddenly the doorbell rung. I thought that my father had come and he does
not like waiting outside so I quickly ran and just opened the door but I saw a
delivery man with a book shaped packet. He said ‘Is this Sandeep Gupta’s
House?‘ By-The-Way, Sandeep Gupta is my father’s name, so back to the topic, I
responded to the delivery man ‘Yes, this is Sandeep Gupta’s house’. He said ‘I
am from Amazon, a book was ordered by Sandeep Gupta, please sign here and take
this book.’ I signed on a paper and he handed me the book. So I just ran to the
dining table and gobbled up my food. Then I went to my room and tore off the
wrap around the book and I saw a heavy, beautiful and a geeky book. I turned
the pages and in the end I saw code. In one line there was alert() that’s why I
knew it was code. I could not wait for my father to come back and just start
teaching me from the book. For the next 2 hours I kept the book in my hands.
And when my father came I was extra happy to see him because I was going to
start a new Journey from that day. My father said ‘Saion, I am really tired,
what is the matter, you are looking extra happy today’ and when I heard the word
tired then I knew that we are not going to do coding today but I still replied
to him ‘Papa, my book has come!!! Check it out. Let’s start reading it.’ He
said ‘Saion I am too tired today, cannot read it today, we will start from
tomorrow’. And I went and started doing my school homework.
THE NEXT DAY
It was the next day and I was super exited. Though it was Sunday and we usually get up at 9 on Sunday but I got up at 6 and everybody except for my grandfather were sleeping. I quickly used the toilet, brushed my teeth, had a quick bath and I had finished my daily chores by 7. I went to my father’s room and saw he was in deep sleep. I said in a low voice ‘Papa, papa, papa, please get up, we have to start our book’. And he suddenly woke up. He said ‘What happened. You look like you have completed your daily chores. It is just 7 and you woke up!!!’ I replied ‘Pops, I woke up at 6, come on let’s do coding’. And he said ‘Let me sleep man’ and he turned his face to the other side and slept. So I was left alone thinking of what to do. Then I thought that I will read the book myself and when papa will get up then I will read it with him once again. So I went into the balcony where birds were chirping and started reading the book. But I didn’t know that coding books are not read like this. They should be read with a laptop in front of you because in a coding book there are examples which are needed to be tested practically. But when I started reading it then I could not understand a single word. For example there was written ‘Enter the following link in the browser: http://repl.it’. But I could not understand where should I enter it, where should I go and all that because I did not have a laptop in front of me to enter the link in the browser. After about half an hour I left it and just closed my eyes. I was not aware that I slept on the chair only and my mother woke me up at about 9:30. I was day dreaming and was murmuring ‘Codi... ng... pap.. a... have... yo.. u.. woken... u.. p..’. And then my mother shouted ‘Saion!!! What are you saying!!! Have you gone mad!!!’. I suddenly got up and I said ‘I got up at 6, I got up at 6!!!’. And my mother said ‘You were sleeping!!!! Don’t lie!!’. And she left. I was feeling quite lazy, I went to my bed and lied down on it. Then from behind my father shouted ‘Saion, you woke me up at 7 and you are sleeping yourself’. I got up and murmured ‘Pa.. pa... let’s... d.. o... cod... ing....’. And he shouted ‘OK!!! BUT GET OUT OF THE BED!!!’. And after that I went to the laptop with my father. We started the book and it was quite interesting. It took about two months to finish the book. And then we had made our own ‘Mystery Rooms’ app. I said ‘YAY!!!! we have done it!!!!! We have created MYSTERY ROOMS!!!! Papa, please publish it online so all my friends can play it!!’ and after 2 days my game was online!!!
This is how I created my first app using HTML, JavaScript, CSS and the journey is on and continues...
