DXB211 Creative Coding

This unit introduces the principles of creative computer programming in the context of design and creative practice. It addresses a range of practices and practitioners who employ, or are informed by, computational processes and techniques. The acquired skills will be applied to the creation of creative visual and interactive design outcomes in a studio setting. Many aspects of design and creative practice involve computers and, as a result, designers and creative practitioners have taken advantage of the medium and now employ computer programming and computational processes within their practices. As such, it is important for you to develop core skills in computer programming, as well as knowledge of the history, uses and processes associated with the use of computational processes in design and creative practice.
