As the title suggests, this book explores the concepts of drawing,
graphics and animation in the context of coding. In this endeavour,
in addition to initiating the process with some historical
perspectives on programming languages, it prides itself by
presenting complex concepts in an easy-to-understand fashion for
students, artists, hobbyists as well as those interested in
computer science, computer graphics, digital media, or
interdisciplinary studies. Being able to code requires abstract
thinking, mathematics skills, spatial ability, logical thinking,
imagination, and creativity. All these abilities can be acquired
with practice, and can be mastered by practical exposure to art,
music, and literature. This book discusses art, poetry and other
forms of writing while pondering difficult concepts in programming;
it looks at how we use our senses in the process of learning
computing and programming. Features: Introduces coding in a visual
way Explores the elegance behind coding and the outcome Includes
types of outcomes and options for coding Covers the transition from
front-of-classroom instruction to the use of online-streamed video
tutorials Encourages abstract and cognitive thinking, as well as
creativity The Art of Coding contains a collection of learning
projects for students, instructors and teachers to select specific
themes from. Problems and projects are aimed at making the learning
process entertaining, while also involving social exchange and
sharing. This process allows for programming to become
interdisciplinary, enabling projects to be co-developed by
specialists from different backgrounds, enriching the value of
coding and what it can achieve. The authors of this book hail from
three different continents, and have several decades of combined
experience in academia, education, science and visual arts. Source
