00:00:06,498 --> 00:00:10,589
Greetings and welcome to the programming
for designers online certificate.

2
00:00:10,589 --> 00:00:13,456
I am Jose Sanchez,
your instructor and collaborator in

3
00:00:13,456 --> 00:00:16,933
this academic venture designed to
bridge the gap between design and

4
00:00:16,933 --> 00:00:19,379
technology through
the power of programming.

5
00:00:19,379 --> 00:00:23,177
This series is structured around
three foundational courses,

6
00:00:23,177 --> 00:00:28,171
Python fundamentals for designers, data
structures for designers using Python,

7
00:00:28,171 --> 00:00:31,139
and creative coding for
designers using Python.

8
00:00:31,139 --> 00:00:35,571
Each course is meticulously designed
to introduce you and strengthen your

9
00:00:35,571 --> 00:00:40,797
understanding of python programming within
the context of design and the visual arts.

10
00:00:40,797 --> 00:00:45,122
This certificate is aimed at designers
eager to integrate programming into

11
00:00:45,122 --> 00:00:49,781
their skill set, and anyone interested in
exploring the intersection of code and

12
00:00:49,781 --> 00:00:51,011
visual creativity.

13
00:00:51,011 --> 00:00:54,102
While prior programming
experience is not a prerequisite,

14
00:00:54,102 --> 00:00:57,018
a commitment to learning and
exploration is essential.

15
00:00:57,018 --> 00:01:01,015
We start with Python fundamentals for
designers, setting the stage for

16
00:01:01,015 --> 00:01:03,054
your programming journey.

17
00:01:03,054 --> 00:01:07,305
This course focuses on the basics of
Python within the processing environment,

18
00:01:07,305 --> 00:01:11,254
tailored specifically for
those with a keen interest in design.

19
00:01:11,254 --> 00:01:14,254
Data structure for
designers using Python follows,

20
00:01:14,254 --> 00:01:18,664
delving into the essential components
of organizing and manipulating data.

21
00:01:18,664 --> 00:01:21,496
This knowledge is crucial for
developing sophisticated and

22
00:01:21,496 --> 00:01:23,364
dynamic design solutions.

23
00:01:23,364 --> 00:01:25,745
Concluding the series creative coding for

24
00:01:25,745 --> 00:01:30,484
designers using Python explores the realm
of interactive and generative art.

25
00:01:30,484 --> 00:01:34,140
This course encourages you to apply
coding principles creatively.

26
00:01:34,140 --> 00:01:36,981
Transforming code into a medium
of artistic expression.

27
00:01:36,981 --> 00:01:41,136
Programming isn't just about coding,
it can help you cultivate your creative

28
00:01:41,136 --> 00:01:43,751
capabilities and
enhance your design practice.

29
00:01:43,751 --> 00:01:47,677
Our goal in programming for
designers is to help you tap into and

30
00:01:47,677 --> 00:01:50,108
achieve that creative potential.

31
00:01:50,108 --> 00:01:51,773
Once you're done with the series,

32
00:01:51,773 --> 00:01:55,382
not only will you have a foundational
understanding of Python, you'll have

33
00:01:55,382 --> 00:01:59,704
a whole portfolio demonstrating your
ability to apply programming in design.

34
00:01:59,704 --> 00:02:00,344
Let's get started.
