Weather or not you win, I want you all to have fun taking part
So tonight.. I just grabbed these off the my bookshelf and am flicking through them looking for inspiration, tucking bits of paper in, and have my feet up with a record on the player in the backgroundThat James Gleick book is a great overview of the mathematicians involved in CT.
Java - object oriented, compiled (to bytecode) language, which runs on the Java Virtual Machine. Can make executable programs as well as run in a plugin in some web browsers
JavaScript/ECMAScript/js - interpreted script language implemented by most browsers, usually delivered in web pages though engines like Node.js can execute javascript on display-less servers (in the same way servers run PHP). Unrelated except by name to Java.
JScript, JScript.NET - Microsoft's bastardisations of JavaScript
JQuery - a javascript library which provides an API which hides away browser differences. eg. document.getElementByName('id') becomes $('id') and will work on all browsers.
can i ask in simple terms, what's this processing thing all about? i skimmed through the links there but i am not fully understanding what its all about.I know Hotshot has replied above, but just to add to this: I believe it's original aim was to provide a relatively simple programming language and environment with built in graphical capabilities to make coding more accessible to creative types who might not be so hot on code. I think the idea is that you can create data visualisations, etc. and create shiny visuals to go along your new arduino, etc based gizmo without worrying about too much set up.
cheers
Processing seeks to ruin the careers of talented designers by tempting them away from their usual tools and into the world of programming and computation. Similarly, the project is designed to turn engineers and computer scientists to less gainful employment as artists and designers.
Quoteso it is possible to use intellisenseYes, autocomplete, go to definition across multiple files etc. all work if you use VS as your editor.
I've been using VS2010 for some web stuff but some CSS(3?) commands just don't register with it. rgba(...) for example just gets lost. I've no internet connection at home so maybe I'm just missing an update.
Brackets looks great, giving it a download now.
i coded the last half of that little project with brackets and its very very good, it actually does intellisense and so far i never had any issues using it. another plus is that its really lightweight and doesn't take precious resources etc
