00:00:05,720 --> 00:00:07,950
Greetings and welcome to

2
00:00:07,950 --> 00:00:10,480
the programming for designers
online certificate.

3
00:00:10,480 --> 00:00:11,880
I am Jose Sanchez,

4
00:00:11,880 --> 00:00:13,500
your instructor and collaborator

5
00:00:13,500 --> 00:00:14,860
in this academic venture,

6
00:00:14,860 --> 00:00:16,660
designed to bridge
the gap between

7
00:00:16,660 --> 00:00:19,280
design and technology through
the power of programming.

8
00:00:19,280 --> 00:00:20,860
This series is structured

9
00:00:20,860 --> 00:00:22,820
around three
foundational courses,

10
00:00:22,820 --> 00:00:25,160
Python fundamentals
for designers,

11
00:00:25,160 --> 00:00:27,760
data structures for
designers using Python,

12
00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:30,860
and creative coding for
designers using Python.

13
00:00:30,860 --> 00:00:32,800
Each course is meticulously

14
00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:35,160
designed to introduce
you and strengthen

15
00:00:35,160 --> 00:00:37,100
your understanding of
Python programming

16
00:00:37,100 --> 00:00:40,175
within the context of
design and the visual arts.

17
00:00:40,175 --> 00:00:42,930
This certificate is aimed at

18
00:00:42,930 --> 00:00:44,510
designers eager to integrate

19
00:00:44,510 --> 00:00:46,070
programming into
their skill set,

20
00:00:46,070 --> 00:00:47,850
and anyone interested
in exploring

21
00:00:47,850 --> 00:00:50,730
the intersection of code
and visual creativity.

22
00:00:50,730 --> 00:00:54,250
While prior programming
experience is not a prerequisite,

23
00:00:54,250 --> 00:00:57,050
a commitment to learning and
exploration is essential.

24
00:00:57,050 --> 00:00:59,670
We start with Python
fundamentals for designers,

25
00:00:59,670 --> 00:01:02,770
setting the stage for
your programming journey.

26
00:01:02,770 --> 00:01:04,970
This course focuses
on the basics

27
00:01:04,970 --> 00:01:07,310
of Python within the
processing environment,

28
00:01:07,310 --> 00:01:09,050
tailored specifically for those

29
00:01:09,050 --> 00:01:10,970
with a keen interest in design.

30
00:01:10,970 --> 00:01:14,130
Data structure for designers
using Python follows,

31
00:01:14,130 --> 00:01:16,610
delving into the
essential components

32
00:01:16,610 --> 00:01:18,570
of organizing and
manipulating data.

33
00:01:18,570 --> 00:01:20,590
This knowledge is
crucial for developing

34
00:01:20,590 --> 00:01:23,145
sophisticated and dynamic
design solutions.

35
00:01:23,145 --> 00:01:25,150
Concluding the series, creative

36
00:01:25,150 --> 00:01:26,470
coding for designers using

37
00:01:26,470 --> 00:01:28,310
Python explores the realm

38
00:01:28,310 --> 00:01:30,275
of interactive and
generative art.

39
00:01:30,275 --> 00:01:32,260
This course encourages you to

40
00:01:32,260 --> 00:01:34,160
apply coding
principles creatively,

41
00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:37,000
transforming code into a
medium of artistic expression.

42
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:39,080
Programming isn't
just about coding,

43
00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:40,400
it can help you cultivate

44
00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:41,940
your creative capabilities and

45
00:01:41,940 --> 00:01:43,740
enhance your design practice.

46
00:01:43,740 --> 00:01:46,800
Our goal in programming
for designers is

47
00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:49,960
to help you tap into and achieve
that creative potential.

48
00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:51,640
Once you're done
with the series,

49
00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:52,580
not only will you have

50
00:01:52,580 --> 00:01:54,600
a foundational
understanding of Python,

51
00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:56,280
you'll have a whole portfolio

52
00:01:56,280 --> 00:01:57,600
demonstrating your ability to

53
00:01:57,600 --> 00:02:01,640
apply programming in
design. Let's get started.
