Advanced Programming and Prototyping

Should Designers Code?

My decision to learn coding in 3rd year came as a shock to my family. It became a dinner table conversation where everyone was pitted against me trying to convince me to follow the designated path of…

Reflection — Advanced Programming

When I decided to take up the basic programming in semester three, I was really not hoping to thoroughly enjoy that class. It’s likely it is because of the people that were in my class or the facilitator, but I believe that it was the ability to use programming in a…

Advanced Programming and Prototyping — Reflection

‘Advanced Programming and Prototyping studio’ was a bit intimidating in the beginning, as we had to explain our A1s on the first and the second day itself. But as the classes progressed, everything started to fall in place. I liked how the…

Programming and Coding for Designers

Advanced Programming was a course I was eagerly waiting for but didn’t know what we would be doing, until the mail mentioned it was P5.js. As a person who is very new to programming and coding, I chose all these courses so that I could learn and gain a better…

It’s all about a leap

This class feels like it’s over before it even started. From what I can remember of what we did on the first day, we were introduced to p5.js. Before that day, I had thought I knew the programming language, but when I even read the list of functions for A1, I realised I knew only about…

Another function setup()

Yes, another function was setup in my coding space. A level up to my pre-existence coding knowledge. This time it was a new language. We were introduced to a new language of JavaScript, where we coded in p5js. Having a previous experience in Python and a bit of it in Processing helped…

Design of Code

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…

Should Designers learn to Code?

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…

Optimize your Design

Algorithms are widespread in today’s time. Today where we compute whom to meet for a perfect match, decide a place to eat which is a 100% worth the money, get instantly the videos and movies that effectively match our interests, etc. algorithms grouped together make tasks a functionality…

Algorithms and its usefulness in Life

As this course and semester comes to an end, I am starting to look at the contrast of…
