The Art of Code

June 4, 2022

You need to watch the whole video to get to Dylan Beattie's codewithrockstar.com, but it's worth it.

This video is part of the Engineering Humor section in our Series Library.

Dylan Beattie, programmer, musician, and creator of the Rockstar programming language, delivers an entertaining look at the Art of Code. He starts out with an interesting presentation of Conway's Game of Life, talks about Mandelbrot's set, and a lot more including esoteric languages and quines—programs that print their own source code.

He wraps up with a musical serenade and talks about algorithmic rock songs. Check out his site, codewithrockstar.com, for more on the Rockstar programming language.

It's all quite entertaining as well as informative. I enjoyed it.

I earned a Bachelor of Electrical Engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology and a Masters in Computer Science from Rutgers University. I still do a bit of programming using everything from C and C++ to Rust and Ada/SPARK. I do a bit of PHP programming for Drupal websites. I have posted a few Drupal modules.

I still get a hand on software and electronic hardware. Some of this can be found on our Kit Close-Up video series. You can also see me on many of our TechXchange Talk videos. I am interested in a range of projects from robotics to artificial intelligence.
