***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/
***Applets can be embedded in websites asd usual
***A short demonstration of the PDE
*PJS *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 are 's been done in the 2D realm; we trying to accomplish'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
