According to the tech giant Google, Grasshopper – whose name is one honors Grace Hopper, one of the pioneers in the field of computer programming – is the best way to enter the world of programming in a fun way, thanks to the challenges and fast games that will teach players to use JavaScript in real situations. As the levels advance, the difficulty of the challenges will increase. In addition, thanks to the corrections in real time, we will know what mistakes we have made and what are the next steps to follow. The game also incorporates different trophies and achievements that will be unlocked depending on our abilities. Today, however, only the JavaScript language is incorporated, given that it is the language most used by developers according to StackOverflow data and there are no plans to extend the app’s capabilities to other technologies. Although Grasshopper is a platform aimed at beginners, and will not become a professional programmer overnight, it can be a good way to get into a field that can inspire some respect to many people because of the immensity of options, languages and existing documentation.
