Dance Code
Many people relax when coding is introduced as a language, rather than math. Even if someone creates alone, the technology involved in the process has already been developed by somebody else. Even one person's business requires professional input from others, and collaborations are often performed online. This book mixes experiences in art, coding, music, dance, choreography, video, and stage design. Dances have unique structures and so do computer codes. In both disciplines, steps are applied following patterns, and are guided by rules and restrictions. The rules obey conditions. The Dance Code script aims to make coding less feared by readers when talking with coders on the job and typing better prompts when using artificial intelligence. In this book, a dramatized, choreographed story unfolds technical information about coding and dancing. The Dance Code script tells the story of an online interaction between a coder and a prima ballerina, resulting in a shared understanding of their respective fields. An exchange between a coder and a dancer may inspire new ways to look at visually presenting knowledge through dancing, performing, or choreographed movement. Hence, the audience learns without studying. It is a part of the “Knowledge Through the Arts” series, consisting of: Dance Code - Dance Steps as a Code New Storytelling - Learning Through Metaphors Code Appreciation - Reshaping Knowledge Nature Appreciation - Knowledge as Art
Code Appreciation
Like art appreciation and music appreciation, this code appreciation book invites the readers to look relaxedly into major programming concepts used in many disciplines through short stories set in alphabetical order. Some students fear technology with programming behind it, and shy away from the word "coding." Coding has become common and needed, and these stories are set to help non-coders lose their inhibition. It also might help with prompt writing. Many employers seek employees with experience in visual communication, technology, and storytelling skills. Most tasks are created through group efforts, so a better grasp of what other co-workers are doing speeds up the process. The book offers a new approach to storytelling by weaving coding into stories. Playfully, it encourages the readers to see computing as easier to understand and present in most disciplines. The book might benefit high school and middle school students, faculty, advisors, chancellors, and those seeking majors or passions. People interested in computer graphics, arts, graphic design, computer science, and others may gain a general understanding of how technology affects various disciplines and how everything is connected. This book is a part of the “Knowledge Through the Arts” series, consisting of: Dance Code — Dance Steps as a Code New Storytelling — Learning Through Metaphors Code Appreciation — Reshaping Knowledge Nature Appreciation — Knowledge as Art
Codes and Evolution
This text builds upon the over 1500 papers published in peer-reviewed journals revealing that there are more than 200 biological codes in living systems. The author claims this experimental fact is bound to change biology forever. This book shows how this very discovery reveals that coding is a new mechanism of life, just as the discovery of electromagnetism revealed the existence of a new physical force in the universe. The existence of many biological codes, furthermore, Barbieri argues, is one of those experimental facts that have extraordinary theoretical consequences. It implies that coding is not only a mechanism that constantly operates in all living systems, but also a mechanism of evolution, more precisely a mechanism that gave origin to the absolute novelties of the history of life. This amounts to saying that evolution took place by two distinct mechanisms, by natural selection and by natural conventions, two mechanisms that are fundamentally different because natural selection is the result of copying and deals with information whereas natural conventions are the result of coding and deal with meaning. This volume appeals to students and researchers working in the fields of semiotics, philosophy, biology and mathematics.
