*'''Matthew'''
 +
*What is Processing.js?
 +
**a JS port of the visual media programming language P5
 +
**PJS outputs the picture/animation/etc. to the new HTML5 canvas element
 +
**cadre of Seneca students, joined by others through the Internet, have been working to complete the port since Fall 2009
 +
*Where did it come from?
 +
**Processing
 +
***An open source Java-based visual media programming language
 +
***Developed by Ben Fry and Casey Reas at MIT as an educational tool
 +
***Don't need to know Java, or be a programmer, do create sketches
 +
***Has since gone on to be used in industry and spread over the Internet
 +
***http://www.openprocessing.org/
 +
***http://www.openprocessing.org/visuals/?visualID=4207
 +
***Continues to spread: Fry employed by Google to bring P5 to the Android OS for mobile devices
 +
***P5 comes with its own development environment which can export "sketches" as a Java applet
 +
***Applets can be embedded in websites asd usual
 +
***A short demonstration of the PDE
 +
***http://www.openprocessing.org/visuals/?visualID=8640
 +
**Canvas
 +
***A new element in HTML5
 +
***Used to draw images/animations/etc. directly on a webpage
 +
***Comes with its own functions, which are accessed by JavaScript
 +
***Smiley face example
 +
***Canvas supported, to one degree or another, in most browsers. Coming to IE9?
 +
***People already using it
 +
***GitHub network chart for a more substantial example
 +
****Anna will talk more about GitHub
 +
*Why Processing.js?
 +
**Makes Processing more accessible, both for developers/artists and their clients/audiences; no need for Java, no need to download and install the PDE; browsers are ubiquitous, when the online Pjs development environment is complete, it'll be possible to develop on the web for the web
 +
***Anna will talk about work toward the online development environment
 +
**enhances the usefulness, and encourages adoption, of open technologies like canvas
 +
**just as P5 makes it easier to create graphics in Java, so too does Pjs make it easier to make graphics in canvas
 +
**create new ways of creating content
 +
***Michael will show how Pjs, by leveraging the webs ability to mesh different technologies together, is helping to enhance or create new and wonderful content
 +
**Pjs can help provide feedback to assess and improve browser JavaScript and canvas implementations
 +
**Reduce the need for plugins and the pitfalls they entail
 +
*History
 +
**John Resig, notable JS developer better known for the jQuery library
 +
**discovered P5 and was impressed, realized a JS library could interpret P5 code and output to canvas
 +
**created Pjs, ported just enougn to get a gaggle of P5 examples, but had no time to pursue it
 +
**heading up development passed to Al MacDonald (aka f1lt3r); also took an interested in Processing while looking for ways to enhance web pages
 +
***Michael will show you some of the cool things f1lt3r's done with Pjs
 +
**Pjs became one of Mozilla's projects they use to get students involved
 +
**Professor David Humphrey brought the project into the open source development course, DPS909, last semester
 +
**Work on Pjs continued into this semester with the followup course, DPS911.
 +
**Lost a few, gained a few people
 +
**Notable gain this year: Corban Brook. Professional web developer who's become one of our core devsand project managers
 +
*Fruits of our labour
 +
**in eight months, we've brought the library to an almost-release-worthy state
 +
**still have issues with performance, and puzzling over how to port features in Java not easily replicated in JavaScript
 +
**in the next little while we'll be showing you some of the results of that work
 +
**Daniel will give you a taste of what's been done in the 2D realm; we've enhanced implementation started by Resig
 +
**Andor will show you Pjs gone 3D, something that was added right here at Seneca
 +
**Anna will show you the the nascent online Pjs development environment built upon Mozilla's Bespin project
 +
**As one of the project leaders, she'll also give an overview of how the project has been organized
 +
**Finally, Michael will show how Pjs is spreading across the web by sampling some of the ways its being used today
