Polytechnicast - Code Sketching for Artists and Programmers
In this episode I discuss how I believe code isn’t just for people with a computer-science background and that no matter your background it can be helpful to draft your code by sketching it out.

- Coding languages/environments mentioned (though there are many, many more worth checking out based on what tools you use and prefer) Python - a beginners guide, Lua (note: I didn’t find a solid introduction to Lua useful for programmers and non-programmers in the time I had… which means perhaps I should write one. Stay tuned.), JavaScript via jQuery for Designers JavaScript - at w3 Schools
- ProcessingJS - a programming tool and language great at visual tasks and for visual thinkers (easiest in some ways to get started with Processing JS, though you can do even more with Processing)
