Product Description
Product Description
While many designers are now aware of scripting′s potential, it is still seen as a difficult arena to enter. Scripting Cultures treats scripting not only as a technical challenge that requires clear description, guidance, and training, but also, and more crucially, it answers why the designer would script in the first place and what the cultural and theoretical implications are. The book also refers readers to a website where they are able to download all the code, explanations, and tutorials to assist with the worked examples.

Theoretical, yet dynamic
11 Sep 2011
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
As an academic professor, this AD Reader by Mark Burry gives my student a background on understanding the basis of scripting with a theoretical and practical approach to designing through scripts. It allows the student themselves to understand the precedents, while making it possible to understand the reason behind why one should or should not script, and applying practical theory onto their design process. I would recommend those designers with advanced scripting methodology and novice scripters to use this book, not as a primer to scripting, but as a guide to better advance or broaden your understanding of theoretical application of scripting.
