The Codework Project: Relations between creative writing and computer programming

这个项目探索并建立了创造性写作，更具体地说是诗歌和软件工程之间的相似之处，认识到这两个学科都有写作实践的共同文化框架：都使用一系列写作工具，都需要整合的知识和技能，都涉及日常环境中的从业者社区。在这两个学科中，这些框架使人类的认知活动能够导致创新和发现。通过关注创造力，通过对交叉点和翻译进行建模，该项目提供了对这些创新和发现过程的更好理解。创意写作和计算机编程是如何培养创造力的？他们如何定义创造性的工作和创造性的作者或程序员？这项研究的更广泛的影响是创造性写作实践和软件工程之间的关系的一个模型。该项目创造了创意作家之间的协同关系？无论是诗歌作家还是密码作家？建议在不同学科之间建立更大的社区的可能性。此外，该项目开始根据计算机编程重新设计课程，作为一种创造性的写作练习。

This project explores and establishes parallels between creative writing, more specifically poetry, and software engineering recognizing that both disciplines share the cultural frameworks common to writing practices: both employ a range of writing tools, both require incorporated knowledge and skills, and both involve communities of practitioners in everyday settings. In both disciplines, these frameworks enable human cognitive activity leading to innovation and discovery. By focusing on creativity and by modeling points of intersection and translation, the project provides a better understanding of these processes of innovation and discovery. How do creative writing and computer programming foster creativity? How do they define creative work and the creative writer or coder?The broader impact of this research is a model for relations between creative writing practices and software engineering. The project creates synergistic relations between creative writers ? whether writers of poetry or of code ? to suggest possibilities for larger community-building between the disciplines. Furthermore, the project begins to re-model curriculum in light of computer programming as a creative writing practice.
