The aim of this book is to bring programming skills closer to the reader by presenting coding in a visual way. The book approaches programming not as a discrete or discontinuous set of skills, but rather as an approach to creativity, or a constellation of ideas. The book will discuss interactions between images and text, music and text, as well as music and images, all in the context of programming, visualization, and the media. The authors explore various learning styles with a focus on the use of online-streamed video tutorials and project based approaches. The book will also feature a collection of learning projects for students and instructors to select specific themes from.
