As a designer we are meant to be problem solvers. We make things that arise from the needs of people and we try to…
As I had started coding a few months back, I realized that programming, processing, computing and such words are big oceans in themselves which work on algorithms and logic. The reason I compare it with an ocean is that one can dive as deep as they want and still have some sense of satisfaction of…
We were asked the very same question last semester when we had taken ‘Programming as a Design tool for Prototyping’ as a course where I had exclaimed that how much code used to scare me and it was a small step forward into this vast world of 0s and 1s we were yet to…
I found this week of the course the most challenging, interesting and educational one yet, personally. Mostly because I feel like I have learnt quite a lot with respect to Python. I pushed myself quite a bit to understand some things to figure out different levels we could make use of in our…
What is code? I’ve always been fascinated with the idea of being able to code. My parents are actually experts at using platforms like Mathematica and terminal for every day work related tasks. My parents are both physicists so they’re pretty good at it. Coding is a language and it is a means…
The first week of this course has been exhilarating and tiring all the same. Thursday started with an introduction to programming, with the question “Should designers code?” A class that started with this question was certainly made for me.
Design with Code is quite a self-explanatory term. However, what is important to understand is whether a designer needs the code or is it just that jacket that looks good if you have it on? It is only in my third year that I have truly gotten to realise the importance of code. So what…
