Structured Programs

A structured software architecture with modular components is an essential aspect for high-quality vvvv patching in order to guarantee its long-term modifiability, maintainability, security and performance.

What happened in the workshop?
We designed a nice structure for several sample programs, broke it into a library of reusable parts and implement one part, shared our personal experience about what we should have done better in past and implemented a small sample project.

Who was the target audience of the workshop?
VVVV patchers desperate from constantly losing track in their programs.
Developers who want to bring readability of their patches to perfection.

What did attendees of the workshop learn?
To write their patches easy to read and faaaaster by time. Readability, reusability and structure of your programs are crucial for fast patching speed. If you gradually build your experience of structured programs, with vvvv you can get to totally crazy programming speed.

Martin Zrcek was a classically trained programmer with knowledge from Czech Technical University, when one fine day id144 introduced him to vvvv and he fell in love with visual languages immediately. In the next nine years he worked as a freelancer for many European companies like Uberact in London and focus4 in Munich, where he made some nice projects.

His personal deviation is pedantry, he likes linear algebra and keeps learning to draw, play the guitar and dance salsa. You could remember some contributions like CiantParticles, ParticlesUnplugged, few shaders, or his toolkit. All have over 10k downloads in sum. In October last year he came back to Prague, created a company focusing on virtual reality in Unreal Engine and paused his vvvv work. He has a good team now and would like to go back again to interactivity.
