• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

An accessible, visual, and creative approach to teaching Python programming using the software literacy-focused Processing development environment. Readers learn the foundations of programming as they write code that produces creative, intriguing, and aesthetically-pleasing results. An accessible, visual, and creative approach to teaching Python programming using the Processing development environment. Readers learn the theoretical and technical workings of computer programming as they write code that produces intriguing and aesthetically-pleasing results. Based on a decade's worth of lecturing experience, the author covers what works best for those looking to learn programming fundamentals in a visual context. These skills provide an entry point into the world of code art, making video games, web development, and other creative technologies. Among the topics covered in the book, readers will learn how computers manage color, how to draw and animate with code, how to add randomness to programs, some data visualization techniques, and handling mouse and keyboard interaction.

Rezensionen

"Learn Python Visually brings two very exciting threads together - using Python to code projects, and using Processing for making art. The book welcomes beginners by covering how to get started with the basics like shapes and color but extends the learning far by covering complex topics like object-orientation in an accessible fashion. I am excited to see what students, teachers, artists, anyone can make using this book."
Saber Khan, Education Community Director, Processing Foundation

"Learn Python Visually might be one of the most creatively-minded, practical introductions to basic programming, presented in a rewarding environment, using a highly relevant language. . . . Its modern design is easy to follow and it finds a nice balance between being educational, and inspirational."
Dr. Rer. Nat. Ralf Biedert, Principal Engineer, Tobii AB

"The sample programs are nicely selected and each deal with a different topic . . . [provides] the necessary detail, but still compact. I believe Learn Python Visually will be a rich source of inspiration."
