Want To Try Creative Coding? Start Here
The goal of creative coding is to create something beautiful instead of something functional.
A lot of people not familiar with programming assume that coding is boring by default. Coding is for nerds. And not just any nerds, but nerds who excel in math and live in front of their computers. While this is partially true (and was definitely true 20 or 30 years ago), there is — as always — the other side of the coin not everyone gets to see.
When art and science properly come together, they create something unexpected and refreshingly new.
If you write code long enough, you start realizing that coding is just like art. It starts with an idea, then you select the right tools, create your first draft, and keep perfecting it until you love the result. While it’s hard to see it in a terminal…
..it’s pretty apparent when you look at the artistic world of creative coding.
