Having just recently switched my major project to work on processing.js I decided this was one presentation I could not miss out on. This talk was given by Al MacDonald who is a freelance web consultant. His website is [http://hyper-metrix.com/ Hyper-Metrix.com]. Al began his talk with an introduction into what [http://processingjs.org processing.js ] is. He explained that processing is a language for creating 2D and 3D graphics, animations, and interactive applications.<br />

[http://www.processing.org Processing ] is a language that was built to be run and parsed on a native JAVA client. So processing 'sketches' would be created and then run on the JAVA client which would process them and create the graphics, animations, text, etc in a window. Then a man by the name of [http://ejohn.org/ John Resig ] came into the picture and started work on creating a port of processing for JAVA to processing for JavaScript. The idea was to be able to allow those sketches of animations, graphics, and interactive apps to be able to be drawn in a web browser without any plugins or extensions to install. Simply put a way to animate and 'interactify' the web and allow processing creations to 'just work' in modern browsers for users.<br />
