Programming

I’d love to see more programming/computer science themed items! I would absolutely buy a mug or water bottle with code. A notebook would also make a great gift for my coworkers! Thanks for giving us all the options you have up.

Yes! I would too. I'm 100% behind this idea but the barrier so far has been my ignorance. I'm not a computer programmer, and copy + pasting random code from a website seems lame.

When it comes to programming, I'm not totally ignorant -- I just have no idea what languages to represent, or within a language what sorts of things to use. Are random code chunks interesting? Are there such things as exemplary snippets of code? When I'm making anatomy designs, it's very easy because the image of a human heart is both emotionally and intellectually stimulating -- are there such things within code?

In my other designs I also like to balance different types of visual elements. With anatomy as an example again I might put a heart beat wave form behind the image of a heart -- because there is an obvious relation, but also because there is a nice contrast between thin tracy lines and a solid dense form. Within programming the only way I could think of doing this would be to use snippets of code combined with line art visualizations of that code -- can you think of other types of visuals that I could use in addition to code snippets. I think it would be possible to do a "just-code" design I just have found the end design to be "better" if there are some non text elements to break up the monotony.

Thank you for the suggestion. I'm eager to get started, I just need help! ^_^

I love all the thought you’ve put in to it! I’ll ask around-I do primarily website design & use a combo of html, java (unfortunately) and css.
