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 stories introduce examples of coding for various disciplines and fields of knowledge and emphasize the importance of developing interdisciplinary skills, including programming, art, and storytelling, in today’s visual world. The goal is to show that programming is a language that enables thinking from another perspective: how computers treat and process data. In each story, illustrated characters present a major programming concept used for the code (set in parenthesis) that refers to their knowledge or work. Thus, in a playful way, Avatars or Alter Egos bridge friendly content with more abstract concepts. The reader can grasp some programming ideas and see how coding can be used in various professions to approach different strategies to solve problems, get new ideas, sort things out, get inspiration, interact with others, or find technology-based solutions.
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.
Tom was now earning his living as an advertiser. His technique was to base his work on research and match it with visuals. “Drinking milk would make you slimmer,” he’d write on the milk trucks labeled with an image of a very skinny cow. The URL was used to confirm it with statistical data presented visually. Creating a full website involved HTML, CSS, and potentially jаvascript for the front end and a back-end language for handling server-side functionalities. In his Python code, he used Flask to create a basic website with statistical data supporting the slogan. He’d say, “We deliver faster”, followed by two arrows and an URL with comparative analyses and statistics. He made a list of people’s needs and wants, researched, and made a slogan for each business that employed him. Flask, a micro web framework for Python, was used to create a simple web server. The render_template function helped render an HTML template with the statistical data passed to it.
