Learn to Program with Processing
Create interactive graphics and animation
Description
Do you wish learn to program once and for all? Wish you could do it in an easy and friendly manner? Then this course is for you!
This course is designed to teach you to program in a more graphical and interactive way. Learn to program in Java with the easy to use Processing development environment. Forget about difficult setups and installations. Just download Processing and run.
Unlike other courses, we won’t begin learning by outputting text to a console, instead we will draw and animate on the screen right from the first lesson. By forgetting about tedious setups and initializations we can focus more on developing ideas and concepts.
The course is designed with the absolute beginner in mind. We start from scratch by looking at the absolute basics and build on from there to more complex topics. The objective is to make the process of learning to code less intimidating. Complex subjects are explained in a simple and visual way. By using images and animations students can grasp concepts better. End of section exercises and their respective solutions allow you to practice what you learn in the lessons.
What about math? We keep the complicated math to a minimum and only introduce it when absolutely necessary. Even when this happens, the main goal or concept of the lesson is not dependent on the math. So even if you don’t want to deal with the math, you can still understand the concepts.
With our carefully designed curriculum you get an extensive course that won't take a year to finish. Each lesson will teach you essential concepts without long improvised explanations. Theory is kept to a minimum, only explaining the most important concepts, then is of to implementing it in code. A lot of work has gone into getting the right balance between theory and practice.
So if you wish to learn to code in an easy and fun way this is the course for you!
