This tutorial introduces the concept of creative programming using the example of two modern environments - Processing and VVVV. presents text and code fundamental programming paradigms. material for each programming environment contains the basics of interaction with the interface, syntax, animation creation, import and export of data, work with color, text, two-dimensional and three-dimensional graphics. Attention is paid to such an urgent technology as shader programming, using the example of the two most common languages ​ ​ - GLSL and HLSL. mechanisms of interaction of programs and devices are considered. The final part demonstrates four different technological approaches to programming a specific task.
