So welcome to creative coding for
designers using Python. This is the third and more advanced course in this three course
series called Programming for Designers. So before we actually
jump into the course, let's do a little recap of what we
have covered in course one and two, because we want to make sure that you have
either covered those courses or, you know, the kind of content that we've covered so
far. So in the first course, Python Fundamental
for Designers, we understood basically the foundations of syntax, variables,
functions, but also geometry. How do we draw things to a canvas
within the processing environment? We're using processing
as our framework for creating our learning environment for
designing. Then we moved to data structure for
designers, which is the second course, and we really started diving into data
structures such as lists, dictionaries. But also, how do we kind of spatialize some of that
content in terms of grid structures? Also, how do we use vectors and
vector math? That was quite important. And finally, we introduced the notion
of object oriented programming. How do we write objects in Python? How do we start making those objects
interact with each other and creating simulations? So with that knowledge considered, if you perhaps don't feel completely
solid and robust on that knowledge, go back to those courses before we
actually jump into this third course, where we're going to be taking a little
bit more of a project based approach to design and really kind of using
the tools that we've learned so far. So with that in mind,
I look forward to seeing you in class.
