Mozilla Labs night talk, abbreviated
Atul Varna invited me to give a brief talk about Sketchpad and the Programming Visual Media course that I co-organized for the School of Webcraft at the Mozilla Labs Night last week. Knowing the audience, I prepared my slides for the talk as a set of browser tabs (Minefield, of course) to flip between. Mostly for some live demos of the things that a static slide just couldn’t convey. The upside of a browser-based talk with interactive slides is that you can try everything out yourself: kick the tires, make your own variations, etc. So in addition to the screenflow that I recorded while I was talking, I’m including a set of links to each of the demo sketches that I was showing during the talk. For a few of these, you’ll need to be logged in with your Studio account. Hope you enjoy!
