Programming for Creative Multimedia Projects

Programming can often be a challenge for those starting from scratch with creative multimedia. Many find it difficult to integrate left-brain and right-brain thinking, as most of us are dominated by one side of the brain or the other. However, with lots of practice, it's possible to create dynamic content which can be styled creatively at the front end. It is fundamental to multimedia to be able to combine the logical with the creative. However, often in industry these roles are separate, with programmers doing the back end and designers maintaining the front end. However, it is very important to understand the dialogue between these two for a successful multimedia project.
