Programming Basics part 1
Overview
The Programming Basics course introduces programming for design and visual oriented outcomes. Part 1 of the course gives an overview of the history and nature of code, and teaches basics principles and object oriented programming with Processing. Students apply their newly learnt skills by developing a game.
In Part 2 of the course, students develop their skills further by focusing on graphic and visual possibilities with code. Students develop dynamic graphics which can be controlled with gesture based interactions. Part 2 of the course runs simultaneously with Graphic Design Basics, so that the students work can be informed with a greater visual sensibility.
