SCEN 1030: Introduction to Creative Coding for the Web

The internet is all around us, and coding for it has never been easier and more accessible, thanks to open source and free software. In this introductory course, students will learn how to code for the web using p5.js (a JavaScript Library) to create interactive and fun applications. Along with the students' own designs, we will explore the work of artists, designers and online communities who have been creating experimental works with code over the last 50 years. By the end of the course, students will have a basic to intermediate understanding of coding structure, logic and syntax in addition to a final project. No prior coding experience is necessary to take this course.
