Creative coding is one of the most rewarding intersections of art and technology. It's where logic meets beauty, where algorithms produce visual poetry.

Whether you're using Processing, p5.js, or shader languages like GLSL, the fundamental idea is the same: use code as a medium for artistic expression.

Where to Begin

Start with p5.js — it runs in the browser, has excellent documentation, and a welcoming community. Draw a circle. Make it move. Add color. Before you know it, you'll be making generative art.
