First Creative Programming Meeting @ XinCheJian – 7-9pm – 18/03/2013

March 18th, 2013 § 2 comments § permalink

The creative programming meeting aims to bring together everybody who is interested in programming.  In the first meeting we hope to find the tools to use to gather our knowledge to be able to realize together a project. All participants will have an opportunity to give a brief description of their idea (and occasionally we will breakout into smaller groups based on shared interests) In previews discussions people expressed their interest in Visualising data with D3.js: Or highlighted the simplisity of paper.js: It seems to be easy to connect javascript to everything which understands OSC in one or another way: or we do something totally different:

Time: Monday, March 18 at 7PM
Location: Xinchejian – 1035 Changle Lu, 2nd floor, Near Wulumuqi Lu – 长乐路1035号2楼,近乌鲁木齐路
Event Organizers: Olaf Hochherz
