week 1 (20-24 sep) https://pad.xpub.nl/p/alnik-xpub1-week1 intro to all tools and structure intro to special issue 16 - team, project, idea, tools intro to prototyping (learning python) + outline of what's next (python, javascript, making publications & layouts) reads: "Exploratory programming for the arts and humanities" & "Orientation in a Big World: On the Necessity of Horizonless Perspectives", Patricia Reed https://pad.xpub.nl/p/SP16_2107 https://pad.xpub.nl/p/o2jT2mUjNgH0Vk1uPZLR https://pad.xpub.nl/p/Orientation_pad_1

reflections -got to read it super slowly and take notes of everything - even though I still don't understand all of the terms used and that's visible especially in the instructions when I couldn't figure out how to do 6-6 ex. -book is written nicely - easy to understand, step-by-step is a great approach

week 2 (27-30 sep) https://pad.xpub.nl/p/alnik-xpub1-week2 first impressions on python & Exploratory programming book discussion + some additional info playing with the printer :))) SI16 - further reads and inputs by everyone pads:

   reflections
   -understanding a bit better some functions commands on python - it's much clearer when we're testing stuff together :)
   -I feel a bit lost in the SI16 sessions and reads - still feels a bit too abstract but I guess that will come into sence in the next 2 weeks
   

week 3 (4-8 oct) pads: https://pad.xpub.nl/p/alnik-xpub1-week3 https://pad.xpub.nl/p/si16-protoyping-week-3 https://pad.xpub.nl/p/SP16_0510 https://pad.xpub.nl/p/SP16_0510_texts https://pad.xpub.nl/p/alnik-xpub1-house-of-dust prototyping: first steps in manipulating and processing text with python; trying to create our first function/iteration on our own... special issue: examples of language processing that we all brought; first prototypes of a reader (me, kamo, supi) workshop: kamo & federico showing us how to record speech and turn it into a booklet

reflections -baby steps. It still feels impossible to have an idea of something you want to program, and program it from scratch. Still on the stage of editing already provided functions. -felt a bit lost in the process of bringing more and more materials but after our classes it became clearer this week; examples really help. Also to get us on a closer page (maybe soon on the same haha) -trying out to create a reader prototype brought some reflections - we have so many ideas, so it's hard to unify; I become impatient when we are discussing things "too much" [subjective] and really need to try something in practice before continue with the discussion.
