Description

"Coding for Creators" introduces text-based programming as a practical extension of Max patching. The seminar provides a structured introduction to JavasScript and fundamental programming concepts, enabling students to complement graphical patch-based workflows with line coding.

Students will learn core principles such as variables, control flow, functions and basic object structures, and apply them within the Max environment to build small, rule-based and interactive processes. The emphasis lies on understanding how code works, how to structure logical systems and how to develop simple custom tools rather than relying solely on pre-built objects.

By approaching code as a way of organizing behaviour and decision-making, the course lays a foundation for future work in interactive and time-based media.
