Multimedia for Majors
- Ken Perlin,
with Adam Chapman

This course teaches two sorts of things:

  1. How to use professional tools, such as Flash, to create interactive multimedia content;

  2. How to create new or experimental forms of interactive content, using more open ended programming tools such as Java.

We'll be alternating between lectures by me on Java, showing the techniques behind many of the experiments on my home page, and on Flash, etc., by Adam and others.

A list of references and examples for Java and Flash can be found HERE.
