This is a tutorial I started to put together that assumes very little programming knowledge. A little knowledge of HMTL is helpful but not required. When I found out that my kid's computer science course was going to be in Java, not Javascript (the course description was wrong), I stopped work on this tutorial. You can Google for "javascript tutorial exercises" to see other people's tutorials if you want to continue.
This assumes that you have downloaded and installed Firefox and Notetab Light. If you have an editor that you are familiar with that can go to a specific line in a text file by line number, feel free to use that editor instead of Notetab Light.
