    There is a link to the Table of Contents ( https://futurecoder.io/course/#toc ) in the bar at the top. Is it not easy to notice?

    Thanks. I tried running code but couldn't see any results/output. I was hoping to see `input()` in action. The dev console just logs `{type: 'error', data: '{}', contentType: 'text…

    I'll also add that it has been copied and rehosted, with my help. There's a slightly customised French version here: https://futurecoder.forge.aeif.fr/ This version is meant for ma…

    Thanks! I'm sure there's lots of good stuff out there but I'm afraid I have no plans to generalise to other programming languages myself. Many of the special magical features of fu…

    futurecoder was actually translated to French by three teachers working for the French Ministry of Education to use when teaching the maths/programming subject 'NSI'. I love maths …
