Course Description
Learning how to code can be challenging. It is hard to find good resources that are relevant, practical and engaging at the same time. This course teaches coding from scratch in a visual and beginner-friendly manner using the vastly popular programming language JavaScript and a programming library called p5.js.
The emphasis of the course will be primarily on learning programming using JavaScript and p5.js and secondarily in creating visuals. The main focus is to teach you how to program so that you can choose to pursue whatever field that you would like with your newly established skill set. The skills that you will acquire from this course are highly transferrable and could be used whatever you choose to build; whether web or mobile applications, programmable robots or generative art.
This means that I will provide you with enough context so that you can build a strong foundation for programming. But I also won’t hinder your momentum with irrelevant technical or theoretical points. The aim is to build a strong but a minimum viable knowledge to get you running with coding. This is the course that I wished I had available when I was learning coding myself.
You will be building several useful and fun programs that does animation and visualizations and as a final project, you will be building an interactive game that can be deployed online!
If you are looking to learn coding in a fun and an engaging manner, then this is the course for you!

He speaks too fast and his accent makes it difficult to understand what is being taught.
By Ossie Jesson on 1/23/2021
It is barely visible on ipad and the audio is almost in comprehensible and the teaching of the subject not logical or easy to grasp The course for me does not do what it’s title suggests I am not learning programming from a visual mythology but seeing JavaScript effecting an example visually
By Crystabella Harding on 6/5/2020
This was a great introduction to coding language. I don't have a computer science background and found this easy to follow.
By Rupert Francis on 8/6/2019
Great introduction to javascript and processing:) Clear lessons and explanations. As a designer, this approach to learning programming is much better than usual coder-centric lessons.
By Zsombor Nagy on 5/9/2019
Very clear instructions. Accent doesn't bother me at all, unlike some other reviewers have said. Not lost in too much detail so far.
By Dominic Olivastro on 9/20/2018
I liked that the last chapter -- building a game -- was obviously done on the fly, so that you could see the common errors that arise and how to correct them.
By Alexmayer on 7/21/2018
This course is awesome!! I love the examples being used and slides look beautiful. I feel like I am learning a lot. thank you.
By Memo Artman on 7/17/2018
I have tried learning how to code from other sources before but they were either too boring or too hard for a beginner. This course is perfect for someone who is just starting with programming. The examples are visual and fun. Not a 'let's build a calculator' kind of a course.
By Viduttam Katkar on 7/11/2018
It seems to be a very well structured and easy to understand and follow along course. Also has me captivated with the excitement of creating cool visual artwork through programming!
By Angel on 7/10/2018
Ideal course for someone who is a beginner to programming. Starts things from scratch and builds it up from there. I like the examples that are used.
