Multimedia for Majors
- Ken Perlin,
with Adam Chapman
This course teaches two sorts of things:
- How to use professional tools, such as Flash,
to create interactive multimedia content;
- 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.
