Introduction to Programming
The Introduction to Programming course deals with the basic principles of programming: what is programming and how to write a program to achieve a task? The objective of the course is to get familiar with programming technology in order to prepare students for later projects in which computer technology is employed.
The fundamentals of programming are discussed by means of the relatively easy language Processing, that is similar to Java. The Processing language simplifies programming of visual programs, and yields immediate graphical output. It is ideal for understanding the basics of computer programming. Small assignments are given to help you apply the topics discussed in class and larger assignments on which you can release your creativity. During lab time there is assistance present to help you out on specific aspects of the assignments.
Edwin van der Heide will give one course about Max/MSP/Jitter. Lab assignments will help students to get familiar with Max/MSP/Jitter.
