Hardback. Condition: Good. A book for anyone who wants to learn programming to explore and create, with exercises and projects to help the reader learn by doing.This book introduces programming to readers with a background in the arts and humanities; there are no prerequisites, and no knowledge of computation is assumed.

He emphasizes programming's exploratory potential--its facility to create new kinds of artworks and to probe data for new ideas.

The book uses Python and Processing, both of which are free software, as the primary programming languages.…
