# Intro to Computational Language

### Hello! ICL

#### This is an online syllabus for the 'Intro to Computational Language' so called 'ICL' class.

#### [Processing](https://processing.org/) has been a great tool for the media artists, creative technologists, designers, educators and etc. And here we have [p5.js](https://p5js.org/), a javascript library which promotes the same goal as the processing. It has come to this internet world because the web is to be alive forever. 

#### At the browser, we have P5.js which welcomes you to experiment your intentions in media. A great thing about the P5.js is we have a youtube channel by [Daniel Shiffman](https://www.youtube.com/user/shiffman) at [NYU ITP](https://tisch.nyu.edu/itp). You can subscribe and easily learn p5.js, and even cutting-edge machine learning. 

#### You can learn more about p5.js[ here](https://p5js.org/).  The great thing about the [p5.js](https://p5js.org/) is that you can learn the mechanisms of the coding environment. Just like when you are learning a new language you learn how to use a dictionary, you can learn the mechanisms of how to learn a new computational language and eventually learn how to vitalize yourself from 'illiterate' to 'literate' in any language.
