I believe creating software is an incredibly creative process. Although it may not feel like this when your day job is to code 'Yet Another Timesheet Application'. By doing some creative coding such as programming graphics, generative music, or a small game, you can use your IT skills to create art, and interactive experiences that evoke emotions from your audience.

So let's stop adding business value for a moment and explore some creative coding tools to create visual arts, music, and retro games. I'll give demos with P5js (JavaScript), Sonic Pi (Ruby), and PICO-8 (Lua), to show what creative things can be achieved with them. By the end of the talk, I hope you'll be inspired to become an artist with your coding skills!

For this presentation, I need to share my laptop audio with the sound system in the room.

This is a fun and fast-paced talk that highlights many creative coding results.
