This course repository contains homework assignments, useful guides, and code for Computational Practices 2 at CCA, Spring 2020.
In this course, we'll engage in three mini-projects and a final project.
Pre-project assignment:
- Find two computational works and deconstruct them -- figure out what subcomponents you'd need to create or find in order to recreate the work. Upload your work to a new GitHub repository and email us the link.
- Learn about JSON, aka "JavaScript Object Notation". It's a very useful way to structure data and you will come across it a lot, including in Project 1! First, take a look at some examples here. There are also a number of resources on YouTube and across the Web, but many of them will have parts that assume knowledge beyond what you have gained so far -- do not fret! Get what you can from each one, and move on. The pieces will fit together!
- Copy the JSON data from this document into JSON Editor Online and/or JSONFormatter, and explore what data actually shows up in there. Explore enough that you have an educated guess about the "position" of the "nose".
Project 1: Machine Learning. January 29 - February 19.
Project 2: JavaScript, React, and the Web. February 19 - March 11.
Project 3: Electronics and Robotics. March 11 - April 8.
Final Project: April 8 - May 9; final show Interface, 7pm-9:30pm, CCA Oliver Art Center (Oakland)
