About The Book

"The Art of Coding" is a unique exploration of drawing, graphics, and animation through the lens of coding. With a focus on making complex programming concepts easily understandable, this book offers a fresh perspective for students, artists, hobbyists, and anyone interested in computer science, computer graphics, and digital media. By intertwining historical perspectives on programming languages with contemporary coding practices, it provides readers a holistic approach to learning and understanding programming.

Coding requires a wide range of cognitive abilities, such as abstract thinking, mathematics skills, spatial ability, and creativity. The book emphasizes how these skills can be developed through practice and exposure to artistic disciplines like art, poetry, and literature. By discussing how we use our senses to learn programming, the book encourages a deeper, more creative approach to the field.

Key features of the book include:

• Visual coding approaches to enhance understanding

• Exploration of the elegance and outcome of coding

• Variety of coding outcomes and options

• Transition from traditional classroom learning to online-streamed video tutorials

• Encouragement of abstract thinking, cognitive development, and creativity

The book also includes a collection of engaging learning projects, designed to make the programming journey entertaining and collaborative. It invites social exchange, allowing learners to work together, making coding an interdisciplinary experience that is enriched by experts from diverse backgrounds. This global collaboration, with authors from three continents and decades of combined experience in academia, science, education, and visual arts, provides a well-rounded perspective on coding.
