It is most prominent as a [[performing arts]] form and a [[creativity technique]] centred upon the writing of [[source code]] and the use of [[interactive programming]] in an [[improvisation|improvised]] way. Live coding is often used to create sound and image based [[digital media]], as well as light systems, improvised [[dance]] and poetry,<ref>Magnusson, T. (2013).

The figure of '''live coder''' is who performs the act of live coding, usually "artists who want to learn to code, and coders who want to express themselves"<ref>{{cite web|last=Bell|first=Sarah|title=Live coding brings programming to life - an interview with Alex McLean|work=British Science Association |url=http://www.britishscienceassociation.org/blog/live-coding-brings-programming-to-life-an-interview-with-alex-mac|accessdate=2 March 2016}}</ref> or in terms of Wang & Cook the "programmer/performer/composer".<ref name="auto"/>
Live coding is also an increasingly popular technique in programming-related lectures and conference presentations, and has been described as a "best practice" for computer science lectures by [[Mark Guzdial]].<ref>{{cite web|last=Guzdial|first=Mark|title=What students get wrong when building computational physics models in Python: Cabellero thesis part 2|url=http://computinged.wordpress.com/2011/08/01/what-students-get-wrong-when-building-computational-physics-models-in-python-cabellero-thesis-part-2/|accessdate=5 February 2013|date=August 2011}}</ref>
