Hi, I'm Joy.

A teacher here at Treehouse.

For many, digital literacy means learning how to use important technologies,

like web browsers, computers and email programs.

Digital literacy is also about how to understand the information you

find on the web.

And how to stay safe, while being part of the global conversations on the internet.

Now that's an important place to start, but I'm going to take you even further.

In this series,

Digital Literacy Courses, you'll not only learn about modern technologies and

how they help you learn and explore the world worth of information.

But it'll also teach you how to be a maker of information.

In this collection of courses, you'll learn the basics of how computers,

the worldwide web, and internet work.

And edit HTML, CSS, and Java script code to create web pages and

build applications.

We'll also dabble in a few different programming languages

to get you familiar with the tools available to you.

Don't worry if you've never written a line of code before.

We're gonna start from the beginning and build your knowledge over time and

at your own pace.

Some of the projects we'll make are personal webpages, soundboard apps,

randomized future-telling games, and more.

To get started quickly and easily, we'll be using Treehouse's robust text editor,

Workspaces, which will start you coding right away.

If you're already using technology and are ready to peek behind the curtain of

the inner workings of the web, Internet, and computers, these courses are for you.
