MS 059 SC - CS1: Intro to Python and Viz

This is an introduction to computer programmingthat supports Scripps College’s interdisciplinary vision. It is foreveryone–visual designers, data scientists, and fine artists–who wantsto create interactive media and computergraphics. This course links software conceptsto principles of visual form, motion, and interaction. Students learn thefundamentals of Python programming (data structures, sequencing, selection and sorting, iteration and recursion,functions, object-orientedcode) and use Processing.pyto analyze and visualize data, generate drawings andsounds, manipulate images,create interactions for games, use network communicationto collect data, and learnhow to work with remote data to create environmental simulations.Prior programming experience not required. This course satisfies the pre-requisite for DS2 in Scripps’ Data Science minor.
