Why should a designer learn to code? As our world is increasingly impacted by the use of algorithms, designers must learn how to use and create design computing programs. Designers must go beyond the narrowly focused use of computers in the automation of simple drafting/modeling tasks and instead explore the extraordinary potential digitalization holds for design culture/practice. Structured around a series of fundamental design problems, this course will show you Python code in terms of its rules and syntax, and what we can do with it in its application and design. So, by the end of this course, you will know the fundamentals of Python and Rhino script, but importantly, through the lens of their application in geometrically focused design lessons and exercises. Subjects covered in this course - An introduction to Design Computing as a subject and why designers should learn to code. - The fundamentals of coding in the Python scripting language. By the end of the course students will be familiar with the basic structure and syntax of this language. - The understanding and application of Rhinoscriptsyntax, a native coding language in Rhinoceros that’s imported into Python, which allows one to create and control geometries through authoring code. - The application of Procedural Logics - the structuring of coding systems to produce variable geometric form. - The output of geometries in still and animate forms.
Unmatched energy of this course faculty, Use of sample Problems/Projects helped to understand complex capabilities, draw what you imagine using few lines of code
It was really helpful! a big thanks to University of Michigan
it's really wonderful , high disciplined managed course. thanksI also thanks university of Michigan and prof. Glenn Wilcox
it is really helpful course. perfect pace and perfect teaching by Glenn Wilcox
Very good course. Explains the usefulness of Python scripting in CAD Application.
A reasonably heavy-duty course, but solid and worthwhile outcomes.
Expectionally Well organized course. The contents are very apt and wonderfully taught

I am new to Python, and very pleased to have found this MI course. Glen is clear, succinct, and makes all the complexity manageable and enjoyable. I am undertaking my own research and practice in Australia, and as such, the time frames, and different time zones and inability to have online live face to face or forum reviews means the reliance on videos and materials offered is very high, and I think as an introduction course Glen succeeds in providing that. I would highly recommend Glen and the course, and would love to see further advanced sessions as outlined in the outro.

If you are looking for a detailed course about the basics of Rhinoscript this is the right course for you. If you already know Python some stuff is well known, however if you are new to Python don't worry. Glenn is going to explain exactly what is happening so you can follow as well!
This course is excellent. In addition to introducing you to python programming (I was a total layman), it teaches several Rhinoscript commands. The course is long, especially the last week. I am very grateful for the availability of this content.
Great logic and progress tutorial for a slow learner like me! (note that practice for each session is extremely helpful to understand the code)
Although I had language difficulties, it was a very enjoyable and fruitful time. Thank you so much.

The best course for initial phase in rhinoscript
Fantastic, structured, well-paced
understandable and powerful
Glenn Wilcox cool teacher
Great Experience!!!
interesting course
super interesante
Great Course
