Learn Creative
Coding as a Craft
Welcome! trcc is a an online learning platform and a cultural hub for Creative Coding, founded by me, Tim Rodenbröker. Creative Coding is a universal, slow and conscious design practice for creating software, from custom design tools and flexible visual systems to visual poetry. Creative Coding has a very long tradition and in the age of AI it becomes something foundational: a critical conversation between human and machine. A journey into the real structures of digital technology. I teach you the basics you need to get started. No vibes or shortcuts. trcc is about creativity, foundational skills and critical thinking.
Hi, I'm Tim!
What a ride! Since almost 10 years I am building trcc. It is the greatest project I can imagine. Beside my work on this platform I am currently researching the world of Permacomputing, and I also run a design studio called Coding Systems.
