I recently reviewed [[Get Coding!: Learn HTML, CSS & JavaScript & build a website, app & game by Young Rewired State]] and gave it an enthusiastic five stars. I'm giving the same rating to ''Create With Code'' and I would recommend either book to a child who wanted to learn how to code but if I had to make a choice I would choose ''Create With Code'' particularly if the child had no experience at all of coding. It's more painstaking in the early stages and more inclined to give full explanations of ''why'' and ''how''. There's a slight disadvantage in that there are several pages full of HTML which might look daunting to a beginner but do quickly come to make sense. This is where a child might need some support, but the book impressed me in that you could give it to a child and let them get on with it to a large extent.
I was impressed and delighted to learn that this is the first in a series: if others are of the same standard they will be something to treasure. The books are aimed at children, but an adult wanting to learn the skills could do worse than start at the beginning and work their way through. If you're wanting to build a commercial site without learning how to code then you might find that [[Create Your Own Online Store (using WordPress) in a Weekend by Alannah Moore]] solves the problem. The same author has also written [[The Creative Person's Website Builder by Alannah Moore|The Creative Person's Website Builder]]. [[Infographics: Technology by Simon Rogers]] would be a handy reference book to have. When your website gets really good, you might need [[Choosing Shopify Plus for Your Ecommerce Business|this]].
