Enter the world of Creative Coding

I have been wanting to learn Processing/p5.js for many years. But it was only when I came across Tim’s website and saw his passion for learning and teaching Creative Coding that I felt compelled to give it a try. Tim’s background in graphic design and experience with live music performance also caught my attention because it adds extra layers of helpful information to his courses. And the way he shows how it is possible to create visually compelling posters, moving type, grid systems, random collages or data visualisation with code did open my eyes to the unexplored territories of Creative Coding. It is a new world I want to explore too.

Tim is one of the best teachers I had the pleasure to learn from. His community-driven approach in combination with an easy-to-grasp teaching method focused on basic principles is just great! Tim is not only a great Creative Coding teacher, but he also taught me a lot of useful stuff about design thinking and the creative process as well. Highly recommend it to everyone who is willing to learn code creatively!

I’ve been part of Tim’s community for two years now and the excitement just hasn’t worn off! The talks and tutorials I’ve been able to access through being a Paetron help to continually inspire me and I’ve met the most incredible people.

Tim’s courses have given me insight into the incredible possibilities of designing with code. Since then I often use some custom filters for my poster designs. I was immediately kicked by the aesthetics of Processing.

Tim’s platform has been extremely helpful for me to dive into the universe of “Creative Coding”. With a strong background in printed editorial design, his courses and the trcc community were a tremendous help to me. With it, I have learned in a joyful way to creatively use the potential that lies in “Creative Coding” for my purposes. What we are experiencing in our industry right now is an unprecedented pace of progress – which many universities are already unable to keep up with. Tim manages to convey these fundamental changes in such a joyful way that takes the terror out of them. An absolute recommendation for anyone curious about the future.

As a data scientist and information designer, I have always been interested in exploring the intersection between beauty and data. Tim’s creative coding courses opened up a new world to me. They gave me more tools and ideas worth exploring that I can now use in my visualizations. But most important of all: the courses introduced me to Processing, which I now use on a daily basis and is a great asset to have.

The courses are the most compact and efficient way to get familiar with the basic building blocks that are important for a Creative Coding. Especially for beginners but also for advanced users a super chance to feel confident in coding! I already had experience and the course helped me fill in gaps and get a better overall understanding and confidence for Creative Coding projects!

Tim made me realise that coding is an incredibly important skill which facilitates both problem solving and creative thinking. Tim is a wonderful mentor and is the reason I have been able to learn so in depth about the possibilities of code. His courses are well thought out and it’s clear how much time and preparation he puts into them. Even though his courses are to an exceptionally high standard, Tim breaks it down so the lessons are easy to process and understand.

I tried to learn Processing by copying other people’s code for many years, but never succeeded to be creative on my own. Tim’s courses are so valuable because he properly explains what what happens in the code and then he gives you the freedom to code/think for yourself. Tim is not teaching tricks. He teaches independent minds.

As a recently graduated graphic designer, Tim’s Patreon has helped me use code to create posters, motion graphics, responsive design systems and custom typography. The Patreon overall has helped shape my approach to design. It’s hard to get how much it’s helped me in a couple of sentences.

Tim’s courses taught me all the basics of everything I know about coding in Processing, and he continues to serve as a valued source of inspiration and support as well. If you don’t know where to start I would definitely recommend his courses, easy to digest and they give deep understanding of the most important principles in coding.

Everything I know started with Tim’s courses. I still go back and reference them from time to time. I recommend Tim to literally everybody.
