Learning to code is an incredibly daunting task if you have never done it before. Taking those first few steps can be very trying and nerve wracking. This is especially true if you start following a tutorial or book that throws you into the deep end with little explanation of how to turn code into working software. However, it does not have to be that way. Whether you are an adult looking to pick up a new skill, a hobbyist, or a student wanting to learn more about technology, learning to code does not have to be a scary experience. Code can be a fun and exciting thing to learn! To help aid in this process and introduce the basics of programming, this tutorial will introduce key coding concepts and allow you to create a text adventure game that you will be able to play when we are done!
