About this Item

Paperback. Like art appreciation and music appreciation, this code appreciation book invites the readers to look relaxedly into major programming concepts used in many disciplines through short stories set in alphabetical order. Some students fear technology with programming behind it, and shy away from the word "coding." Coding has become common and needed, and these stories are set to help non-coders lose their inhibition. It also might help with prompt writing. Many employers seek employees with experience in visual communication, technology, and storytelling skills. Most tasks are created through group efforts, so a better grasp of what other co-workers are doing speeds up the process.The book offers a new approach to storytelling by weaving coding into stories. Playfully, it encourages the readers to see computing as easier to understand and present in most disciplines. The book might benefit people from middle school, high school, college, and university students and faculty, advisors, chancellors, and those seeking majors or passions. People interested in computer graphics, arts, graphic design, computer science, and others may gain a general understanding of how technology affects various disciplines and how everything is connected.It is a part of the Knowledge Through the Arts series, consisting of:Dance Code - Dance Steps as a CodeNew Storytelling - Learning Through MetaphorsCode Appreciation - Reshaping KnowledgeNature Appreciation - Knowledge as Art Offers a new approach to storytelling by weaving coding into stories.
