Programming 101
Apress (Verlag)
978-1-4842-8193-2 (ISBN)
The chapters in the book will demonstrate the process of programming, starting with formulating an idea, planning, building on past projects, and refining the work, similar to writing an essay or composing a song. This approach will guide you to make use of logic and mathematics to produce beautiful effects. The text contains an Appendix with an introduction to p5.js, a way to produce JavaScript programs with Processing functionality for drawing, images, and interactions to publish on the Web.
The term for program in Processing is sketch. The Processing language has been constructed by visual artists using the Java programming language as a base. However, the sketches featured in this book and typical in Processing are far more than static drawings; they incorporate interaction, animation, video, audio, and accessing files on the local computer and on the Web. Technical features are introduced and explained in the context of complete examples: games (Snake, Hangman, jigsaw, slingshot), making a collage of family images and video clips, preparing directions for folding an origami model, rotating objects in 3D, and others.
Programming is a fun, creative, expressive pursuit. It does require attention to details and can be frustrating. Still, there is very little that comparesto the satisfaction of building a program out of nothing and making it work (or taking an existing program and fixing a problem, or adding a feature and making it better). Programming 101 is your gateway to making this happen.

Who This Book Is For
Anyone who has been thinking about trying programming, or has tried, but needs assistance. Anyone who wants to use their own creativity and artistic talents. Anyone who wants to know what is involved in the technology that is present in our lives. Anyone who wants to know what is involved in the technology that is present in our lives.
Jeanine Meyer is Professor Emerita at Purchase College/SUNY. Before Purchase, she taught at Pace University and worked at IBM Research and other parts of IBM and at other companies. She is the author of 5 books and co-author of 5 more on topics ranging from educational uses of multimedia, programming (two published by Apress, which have been updated for 2nd Editions), databases, number theory and origami. She earned a PhD in computer science at the Courant Institute at New York University, an MA in mathematics at Columbia, and a SB (the college used the Latin form) in mathematics from the University of Chicago. Recently, she has given lectures, in-person and remotely, connecting origami, mathematics, and computer science. She is a member of Phi Beta Kappa, Sigma Xi, Association of Women in Science, Association of Computing Machinery, and a featured reviewer for ACM Computing Reviews. Jeanine is trying but remains a beginner at Spanish and piano.
