First of a new series of videos.
Recordings we have of one on one teaching sessions of English Sourcery with someone learning computer programming for the first time.

English Sourcery computer language now its time to teach it.

The video starts off a little ways in on the new programmer's first project.
When the video starts, a few buttons, an iframe or browser frame was made, a list of strings was made for the button captions and a bunch of button click events that toggled the button colors from red to black when pressed were made.

"The value of a variable" because a variable was needed in the project in order to achieve the menu selection color changing affect. The technique of using a named memory variable to remove a previously set things back to normal will be utilized a lot in other programs as well. Named memory variables are important, and in this episode we explore the use and need of them.

The memory variable name was Buttonpress, and we set its default value to 0.
The default color for the text is black.
