# [](https://github.com/correia-jpv/fucking-awesome-creative-coding)



> Carefully curated list of awesome 🌎 [creative coding](en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Creative_coding) resources primarily for beginners/intermediates.



Creative coding is a different discipline than programming systems. The goal is to create something expressive instead of something functional. **Interaction design**, **information visualization** and **generative art** are all different types of creative coding – which has become a household term describing **artworks articulated as code**.
