We present work-in-progress on RTG, a domain specific language embedded in Haskell designed to explore the affordances of geometry as a means to generate and manipulate rhythmic patterns in live coded music. Examples of how simple geometry is capable of ...

Konnakol is a South Indian, Carnatic musical practice involving the vocal recitation of algorithmic, geometric rhythmic patterns of non-lexical syllables. I reflect on the experience of learning konnakol rhythms, and of adapting the TidalCycles and ...

Programming courses in higher education are often attended by several hundred students. In such large-scale courses, direct instruction is often the last resort, resulting in mostly passive students and limited social interaction. The instructor may ...

Introductory programming courses can be taught in a variety of ways, including live coding, where instructors write code in real-time in front of students, or static code examples, where pre-prepared code is explained to students. While previous studies ...

Live coding is a recommended teaching practice in which an instructor dynamically programs in front of students. However, findings related to students' engagement during live coding are mixed. Some works have reported that live codingseems to improve ...

The term live coding can refer either to a performative musical practice or to a lecture technique in the CS classroom. These two disparate practices are united in that they can be thought of as code performances, where a performer writes, edits, and ...

Version control systems, which have proven essential for software engineering, can also provide value to creative and artistic practices. In this paper, we explore version control in the creative domain of live coding music, a generative performance ...

Background and Context. Live coding is a teaching method in which an instructor dynamically writes code in front of students in an effort to impart skills such as incremental development and debugging. By contrast, traditional, static-code examples ...

Live coding---a pedagogical technique in which an instructor plans, writes, and executes code in front of a class---is generally considered a best practice when teaching programming. However, only a few studies have evaluated the effect of live coding on ...

Many computer programmers are beginning to use computational agents to help them develop software. This article raises questions about the nature of programmer-to-agent relationships. The author’s intent is to foster thought that will help human ...

This paper describes a tool to help instructors guide learners through code examples. The tool captures low-level changes made to a group of files using a popular code editor. Then it allows the programming session to be replayed so that an author can ...

There is value in instructors guiding students through complex programming problems. An instructor can describe how they start a program, decide what to do next, recover from poor problem-solving choices, and check their work. Worked examples give ...

One of the goals of computing education research is to document the potential strengths and weaknesses of contemporary teaching methods in computing. Live coding has recently gained attention as one of the best practices for teaching programming. To ...

Live streaming, which allows streamers to broadcast their work to live viewers, is an emerging practice for teaching and learning computer programming. Participation in live streaming is growing rapidly, despite several apparent challenges, such as a ...

Liveness is an important factor in live coding but frequently liveness focuses on high-level, textual environments. While these environments offer manifold abstraction capabilities, users of low-level dataflow programming environments could also benefit ...

<blockquote>Abstract: Can lambda calculus be transformed to an artistic expression and if so, what could it sound like? This paper discusses the CodeKlavier’s Ckalcuλator: an arithmetic calculator for the piano following lambda calculus principles. The ...

We present work-in-progress on two projects whose combination enables live coding music in Haskell: cnoidal, a library for representing and transforming music, and HyperHaskell, a Haskell interpreter with a worksheet interface and graphical output. The ...

This experience report describes a faculty member's effort to create educational videos that support students' learning in a programming intensive CS1 class, along with an evaluation of their use by students. The videos that were created were ...

Live streaming-an emerging practice of broadcasting video of oneself in real time to an online audience-is often used by people to portray themselves engaged in a craft such as programming. Viewers of these 'creative streams' gather to watch the streamer ...

What does the Anthropocene look like? Should it be described as a singular decisive moment, or a series of banal everyday events? How implicit can an individual feel within such an evolving and accumulative system? This paper explores such questions, ...
