"Learning to code in Processing has liberated me as a designer. It allowed me to do things I could never have done by hand before." — Nicholas FeltonIn this new one-hour class, join information designer Nicholas Felton to explore the world of Processing — a coding language specifically created to encourage designers to code.In 6 bite-sized lessons, you'll explore a toolkit of Processing sketches, organized around FAQs and common scenarios from Nicholas's own work, including:<ul><li>Importing data into Processing from CSV, XML, and JSON</li>
<li>Sketches for common graphic structures, including rows, grids, concentric circles, lines, radial graphics, and mapped coordinates</li>
<li>Debugging best practices and checklists</li>
<li>Refinements for polishing your sketches, including alternative shapes (triangles, arcs), custom typography, and different color systems (HSB, RGB)</li>
</ul>Plus, this class includes an exclusive, downloadable .zip folder full of corresponding Processing sketches you can explore, copy/paste into your code, and reference again and again.This class is an ideal follow-up to Nicholas's class <a href="https://www.skillshare.com/classes/Data-Visualization-Designing-Maps-with-Processing-and-Illustrator/1063775924/classroom/discussions?enrolledRedirect=1" target="blank">Data Visualization: Designing Maps with Processing and Illustrator</a> — and designers, technologists, and everyone who loves working with Processing are invited to take part.Working with data is all about generating systems. You build graphic rules, add data, and create a form. The magic is in the manipulation. Change the rules, or change the data, and you can tell a completely different visual story. Use this class to unlock that potential in your own work._______________This class is recommended for those with basic familiarity with Processing.Brand new to Processing?
