We’re now six weeks into winter quarter and documentation is coming online for the DMA 152A website. The class is described in the syllabus:

This course is a continued introduction to creating images and interactive experiences within the context of software. Each student’s foundation in basic programming will serve as a platform for further exploration. Each student will work within an area of her/his own selection within the larger framework of the course. This course is designed for students with previous computer programming experience; the prerequisite for the class is DESMA 28 or equivalent experience. This is a collaborative studio class; we’re embarking on a group exploration and the Professor and TA are your guides.

Each student is developing a series of programs for the hypothetical series “Toys for Young Robots.” These programs will introduce children to computer programming within the context of writing short software toys and games. Each group of programs will feature a series of related short, exciting, well-designed, clearly-documented programs.
