Visual programming for Coders

You are familiar with words like class, method, interface and generics? You are curious how visual live-programming with vvvv gamma can speed up your development process? Great, then this workshop is for you!

21 May 2020, 18:00 – 21:00

Online Webinar

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.

You can find all infos on vvvv gamma and VL on http://visualprogramming.net

In this webinar you will learn how to:

  • Translate your knowledge about object oriented programming into the visual paradigms of VL
  • Write VL nodes in C#
  • Convert textual code into visual code
  • Use generics

Requirements:

  • Windows PC
  • 3 button mouse
  • You should be familiar with words like class, method, interface and generics and have a basic understanding of programming.

For a successful webinar please prepare the following

  • Connect to the webinar with a Windows machine
  • Please download and install the latest release of vvvv gamma from http://visualprogramming.net
  • If you can: Connect a second screen. Put the presenters screen left and patch your vvvv patches on the right. Or vice versa.
  • Clean desktop from private stuff. You might be sharing your screen with the others.

Where?

You will receive a link with the ticket purchase.

General Info:

The webinar runs from 18:00 am to 21:00 CET
We take a maximum of 15 participants.
The webinar will happen if we have 5 or more participants.

What the vvvv?

vvvv gamma is a visual-first live programming environment for the .NET ecosystem. Its language VL combines metaphors known from dataflow, functional and object oriented programming. There is no need to write any code, unless you really want to. 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 gammas programming language VL comes 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
