Flying around the world with Apple Playgrounds (iPad only)
Although the Playgrounds application is primarily used to introduce the principle of working with the Swift language especially to children, it will certainly be appreciated by many adults. Swift Playgrounds teaches users about functions, commands, procedures and principles in a fun and playful way, and teaches them to think in the right way. In Playgrounds you will find a variety of fun tutorials, the app will explain everything in detail, describe it and give you feedback.

ProgrammingHub
The Programming Hub application aims to provide users with information about all possible areas of IT, from individual languages to data analysis or digital marketing. Programming Hub is perfect for absolute beginners because it teaches everything from the very basics. There are dozens of easy-to-understand interactive courses, ending with a virtual certificate. The application teaches really effectively, clearly, but requires a subscription to unlock the complete content (roughly 189 crowns per month, occasionally it is possible to get a year-long subscription at a bargain price) and is only in English.

Grasshopper: Learn to Code
Grasshopper is a fun and informative app from Google that teaches you the basics of working with JavaScript.

It offers short interactive exercises, and is built in such a way that learning with its help does not take too much time. So, if you're looking for a user-friendly and above all 100% free introduction to JavaScript, Grasshopper is the right choice for you.
