Background

  • 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?

      • Continues to spread: Fry employed by Google to bring P5 to the Android OS for mobile devices
