Hour of Code

~Over at Khan Academy, you too can learn the basics of computer programming in less than 60 minutes thanks to the Hour of Code.  It's completely free, and through interactive tutorial videos, you'll learn how to draw and color shapes in JavaScript by creating functions and parameters.

Below is a greeting card image that I made. Sure, it may not look like much, but I didn't draw that using MSPaint or any art program; instead, the colors and shapes you see are the result of computer code on the left that told the program where to place each shape and what color to make it.

If you want to learn how to do this yourself, head over to: https://www.khanacademy.org/hour-of-code/hour-of-code-tutorial/v/welcome-hour-of-code
