Awesome Coding is a book for beginners that teaches coding from scratch by using JavaScript and Node.js. In this book, you will work on practical projects that include data analysis, image manipulation, web scraping, command-line applications, natural language processing, and web APIs to get news, stock, and even cryptocurrency data. I am a self-taught developer, so I wanted to create an engaging book that is easily accessible by beginners. If you want to learn coding from scratch with highly practical, applicable, and useful examples, this is the right book for you.
