Coding is cool because?
• You can influence the design
• It’s fun to figure out how to do something new
and make it work! Problem solving skills!
• It’s acceptable to listen to music with
headphones on and drink lots of coffee
• Necessary skills nowadays in design, you
should at least understand basics and
possibilities of coding
Survival skills needed
as a designer
• Ruby on rails / textedit / Dreamweaver etc.
- any coding program
• Html(5)/CSS(3) knowledge and anything on
top of that is a plus
• Some ‘Sisu’, enthusiasm and Google search
Thanks and have fun coding!
