Course Review

This course is one of the best and inspiring courses I have had in my college life. It includes both design and implementation (program coding); the contents of this course are lively which made me active to learn more through out the whole semester.

The things I learned in this course include:
1. Understanding processing and the similarities with the programming languages I have already learned before such as C++ and Java.
2. Exploring the idea of drawing objects and graphics in an easy way.
3. Understanding the circuits and electronic boards by using Arduino.
4. Understanding the connectivity between Processing and Arduino which can be used to make interesting real-world applications.

I have enjoyed most of the class works and assignments of both Processing and Arduino. My favorite homework is the painting board which we made using Processing, I was very amazed how Processing can manipulate the reaction of the mouse movements, controlling the colors and provide the developer with the ability to make a painting board similar to the one which most of Windows-based PCs have (Microsoft Paint).

My comment to this course is that I wish this course can be more consistent in the process. The beginning of the course was faster compare to the end. We learned more about processing than Arduino. We didn’t have enough chance to learn about the connectivity between the both.
Overall, this course is worth taking and I highly recommend it to all my juniors and I will try to learn more about Processing in the future.
