While the focus of this site has changed somewhat and this post is a bit old (almost a year, wow!), I’ll try my best to help.

I don’t have any experience with Isadora, but I see that it is a node-based programming app like Max and Pure Data, which are mentioned in the post. Again, no experience with Isadora, but I have seen amazing things done with both Max and Pure Data (which are essentially the same, the biggest difference being that PD is open source). Processing (also mentioned in the post) is another language you could consider. It is just a normal programming language, so you’d have to learn that, but it’s a simplified adaptation of Java specifically designed to make learning programming easier, but it’s still very versatile.

Learning to code… well, I would say all you require is the will to learn and Google, and you’re all set.

Hope I was able to help.

nice site and an even nicer attitude.

i do video installations and would like to add interactivity to my bag of tricks but i have absolutely no experience with coding. is there anything like isadora but even simpler on the market? if not, where can i learn to code?

thanx ray
