Pseudocode- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pseudocode
In computer science and numerical computation, pseudocode is an informal high-level description of the operating principle of a computer program or other algorithm. It uses the structural conventions of a programming language, but is intended for human reading rather than machine reading. Pseudocode typically omits details that are not essential for human understanding of the algorithm, such as variable declarations, system-specific code and some subroutines.

1st Lesson content:
I quite like this website (www.w3schools.com) which I think is great for beginners, so we will start with this.

Now we will look at some tutorials Sid has put together:

Sid also suggest we use node.js, which was the javascript environment which we will need to download and install. Sid I really likes this because it allows you to use javascript without HTML and CSS, elements which often hamper learning.

Please read the README.md file and follow it's instructions.
