Web-Technologies / How to write a basic HTML-Document

Hi folks! ☀️🖐️

I hope you are doing well! For a few months now I've been working on the question of how web technologies can be taught through creative coding. The potentials of HTML, CSS and Javascript are incredible: Today, the majority of apps are developed using exactly these languages.

The big advantage of web technologies over more closed languages like Processing is that you can share the results via a web server and make them accessible make them experiencable on ...

Processing Community Day 2021 recap ☀️

Dear community, 

it was a sunny day in June 2021 when I got a message from Casey Reas on  Instagram asking if I would host an event with my community to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Processing programming language.

We are now on Discord! 🔥 Join us! / Get Together next Thursday at 6pm (CET)

Hello friends, 🙋

I hope you are doing well!

Join Discord!

I have now set up the Discord server and it is ready for you to join! Discord will replace Slack and Zoom in the future and has the great advantage of combining all the features of the two tools. It makes communication much easier for all of us. Furthermore, spontaneous video and audio conversations are possible and I'm curious how you use the features.

Moving from Slack and Zoom to Discord - What do you think?

Hi everyone! ✋

When I started building this community last year, I decided to use Slack and Zoom for communication in and with the community. At the time, this seemed like a very good decision and it has worked well until now. 

However, I've been watching the Discord app evolve for some time now. Discord makes it possible to combine the features of Zoom and Slack. Not o...

Basically, it is all about the Copy function in Processing, which can be used to create a huge range of visual effects: From image masks to liquefaction filters.

Quick Update (September 2021)

Hi everyone!

Here comes a little update for you: 

Sessions

You might have noticed that I've introduced a new format in the last weeks, the so called "Coding Sessions". With these "sessions" I want to respond directly to your questions and wishes, but also dare to experiment and explore new ways. The idea is also somewhat inspired by music, where "jam sessions" are improvised concerts where people are allowed to try out and experiment.
