Welcome to Camp Troubie 2017!
hello, world!
This class is an introduction to programming using the language Processing. Processing is “a language for learning how to code within the context of the visual arts” (Processing.org). Our time together will involve many hands-on projects, so you get the experience of directly applying what you are learning. We will split our time each class session between instruction and practice. By the end of the course, you will be comfortable with important programming concepts, such as variables, loops, and conditionals, and will have a portfolio full of original artwork and designs. My goal is that you learn a lot about programming and have fun doing so!
You will be able to find all content and information about our course here. For each class you will have access to an agenda, objectives, source files, and assignments. I look forward to our time together over these few weeks!

Processing Book
To guide our activites, we will be using Make’s Getting Started with Processing: A Hands-on Introduction to Making Interactive Graphics (Amazon link). At the end of camp, you will get to keep your copy of the book.
Download Processing
Since this is a summer camp, there is no homework. However, if you’d like to explore Processing at home, you are free (and encouraged!) to download the Processing IDE on your own computer. (Download link)

1In programming, we typically start counting at 0, not 1. We will talk more about this throughout the course. ↩
