This is it!

After an exciting semester in ISTA 401, its time to wrap it up with this final posting.  Throughout the course, I was introduced to Processing, as well as learned some techniques I probably would not have learned if some one pointed me in its direction and said "ok, go for it".  For my final project, I decided to create a binary search tree type website program that takes the user through the course in a way similar to how I felt jumping in.  Within it, I discuss the importance of design in blogging, include links to the processing.org reference page for beginner topics, as well as the to libraries of minim and peasy cam.  Within the site, I used HTML, and CSS to style the text and add in pictures to my code.  In order to write the code, I used Sublime text, which is essentially a text editor with the capability to recognize key words and symbols, such as if statements within Processing.  At the end of this post, you will see a screenshot of the code of my main page.  As a solo final project, I did all of the work within my project, from concept and ideas, to the actual coding and design/layout of each individual page.  My hope with this project was to give the viewers a chance to experience my experience that I had taking this class.  The reason that I interpret it as art is because it is intended to give the user the feel of the class that I had, however it can easily give other emotions (perhaps humor as they see our professor with a cat).  I had a lot of fun making this project, and I hope it will provide useful information to those using the site whether they be current students, future students, or just anyone interested in learning more about ISTA 401.  Its been a fun semester you guys, I wish you all the best in the future.
