Fullday Workshop: Visual Programming for Coders

You are familiar with words like class, method, interface and generics? You always wanted to change the software you made while it is running? Great, then this workshop is for you! Learn directly from the people behind it Tebjan Halm (vvvv developer) and Elias Holzer (vvvv developer).

Programming is fun, but it sometimes becomes tedious when you have to rebuild your whole application just because you found a careless mistake in your code or want to change some constants. vvvv is a visual live programming environment that allows you to build and change .NET applications in real-time while they are running, thanks to incremental compilation and state hot-reload. Oh, and we are serious about this – everything is statically typed.

What the vvvv?

vvvv is a visual programming environment that allows you to realize ideas quickly without the need to write any code. But if you want, you can also write C# code for it and use any .NET library with it! To give you an idea of the areas vvvv can be helpful in, here is a list of buzz words vvvv is often associated with:

Generative Design
Interaction Design
Data Visualization
Computer Vision
Rapid Prototyping
Physical Computing
Projection Mapping
Show Control

Besides staying true to its nature of being a an easy to use and quick prototyping environment, vvvv is also a proper programming language with modern features, combining concepts of dataflow and object oriented programming:

Define your own datatypes (Classes and Records)
Composed Datatypes (Spread of Spread,..)
No more binsizes needed!1!!
Loops to iterate within one frame
Generics
Delegates
Reactive programming
Async data processing (multi-threading)
Easy caching of expensive operations

You will learn how to:

Translate your knowledge about object oriented programming into the visual paradigms of VL
Write VL nodes in C#
Extend your application with third-party libraries from the internet while it is running
Convert textual code into visual code
Use generics

Requirements:

Bring a Windows laptop
Bring a 3 button mouse
No prior knowledge of vvvv needed
You should be familiar with words like class, method, interface and generics and have a basic understanding of programming.
Please come with Visual Studio 2019 installed as this takes a while
