Gabriel Florit: Instant Feedback

After a long haitus, I am beyond delighted to have yet another wonderful speaker join us!

Description:

Most creative processes exhibit instant feedback. A painter's brush stroke immediately colors the canvas. A guitarist's fingerpicking immediately creates sound. An opera singer's vocal chords immediately fill the room with her voice. Coding, also a creative process, often lacks this immediate feedback, replacing it instead with the familiar write-compile-load cycle. In this talk, Gabriel Florit will present various browser-based tools that try to add instant feedback to the creation of web graphics. Examples presented will be written in html/css/javascript/d3.

Thank you PayPal Data Science for Sponsoring this meetup! Pizza & Beer will be available.
