The aim of this primer is to understand the underlying abstractions that enable todays computing. The understanding of these conceptual models is fundamental to programming rich and interactive applicationsLearning these concepts will form a solid base for programming interactive applications and devices. The ultimate goal is for the students to have a holistic knowledge of the technology they work with as Interaction Designers, as well as easing them into the topic of programming. Further to this, we hope to inspire the students by showing possible futures these technologies might enable.
