Introduction
The Coding Train: Creative Coding Resources
- Overview: The Coding Train provides creative coding tutorials, focusing on JavaScript, p5.js, and ml5.js to explore algorithmic art, machine learning, and simulations.
- Machine Learning Course:
- Focuses on theory and application of ML algorithms in JavaScript.
- Covers supervised, unsupervised, reinforcement, and transfer learning.
- Teaches data collection and using models to generate media (words, sound, images).
- Simulation & Natural Systems Course:
- Explores simulating natural systems using mathematics and physics.
- Topics include trigonometry, self-organization, genetic algorithms, and neural networks.
- Data & Web Development:
- Teaches data retrieval, collection, and storage.
- Covers client-side data handling (fetch, Promises, DOM manipulation) and full-stack development (Node.js, API authentication).
- Git & GitHub Training:
- Covers version control basics, including terminology (branch, fork, merge, pull, push).
- Includes practical exercises like making a first pull request.
- Generative Art Topics: Features specific mathematical explorations such as Marching Squares, Worley Noise, Hilbert Curves, Maurer Roses, and the Collatz Conjecture.
- Key Tools & Libraries:
- p5.js: Primary library for creative coding and visualization.
- ml5.js: Library for accessible machine learning in the browser.
- Node.js: Used for server-side development and data persistence.
