Description of module content:

This is an introduction to computer programming for interactive media applications. Students will design, write, test and debug programs. They will learn the essentials of computer programming: variables, data types and data structures and programming constructs such conditionals, loops and functions. They will also be introduced to the basics of object-oriented programming.These programming fundamentals will be used to develop interactive applications to process digital images and to implement animations.Topics covered will include: The Processing integrated development environment (IDE) Variables, conditional and looping constructs Functions Objects Arrays Algorithms, debugging and libraries Translation and rotation Images & Video programming Sound
Learning Outcomes for module:

Upon completion of this module you will be able to

LO1: Design, develop and test computer programs.

LO2: Develop interactive applications to process sound, images and animation.
