About

JavaScript is the programming language that powers the web and is one of the most popular and pervasive, modern coding languages available today.  In this workshop we will approach JavaScript from the perspective of creating small, creative projects (sketches) that are media focused (art, animated graphics, sound, music and games). You will learn JavaScript basics along-side the P5.js  library ([https://p5js.org/]) which greatly simplifies media access and usage. There will be no programs to install and all of our sketches will be constructed and executed within your web browser (using Chrome) - [https://editor.p5js.org/]. Bring a ChromeBook or laptop and let’s have some fun coding!

A variety of different sketches will be developed with the attendees. Possible sketches include: Circle Catcher, Night Scene with Shooting Stars, Pong Game, Paint Program, Instagram Filters, and others.
