Programming permeates almost all aspects of our lives. This
includes being active on social media, shopping online, and
participating in virtual courses. It also includes driving a car
and using many devices. This book will teach you the basics of
programming using the Processing programming language and provide
practice with logical, algorithmic thinking. It can provide insight
into what is involved in producing the technical infrastructure of
our world. While reading this book, you can build programs based on
your own ideas, using images you create or acquire and making
connections to activities you enjoy. The chapters in the book will
demonstrate the process of programming, starting with formulating
an idea, planning, building on past projects, and refining the
work, similar to writing an essay or composing a song. This
approach will guide you to make use of logic and mathematics to
produce beautiful effects. The text contains an Appendix with an
introduction to p5.js, a way to produce JavaScript programs with
Processing functionality for drawing, images, and interactions to
publish on the Web. The term for program in Processing is sketch.
The Processing language has been constructed by visual artists
using the Java programming language as a base. However, the
sketches featured in this book and typical in Processing are far
more than static drawings; they incorporate interaction, animation,
video, audio, and accessing files on the local computer and on the
Web. Technical features are introduced and explained in the context
of complete examples: games (Snake, Hangman, jigsaw, slingshot),
making a collage of family images and video clips, preparing
directions for folding an origami model, rotating objects in 3D,
and others. Programming is a fun, creative, expressive pursuit. It
does require attention to details and can be frustrating. Still,
there is very little that compares to the satisfaction of building
a program out of nothing and making it work (or taking an existing
program and fixing a problem, or adding a feature and making it
better). Programming 101 is your gateway to making this happen.
What You'll Learn Gain basic programming skills Build fun and
creative programs Use files for making a holiday card or a sequence
of instructions Combine videos, images, and graphics in a
Processing sketch Connections to other programming languages, most
especially Java and JavaScript Who This Book Is For Anyone who has
been thinking about trying programming, or has tried, but needs
assistance. Anyone who wants to use their own creativity and
artistic talents. Anyone who wants to know what is involved in the
technology that is present in our lives. Anyone who wants to know
what is involved in the technology that is present in our lives.
