Re: [FRIAM] [sfx: Discuss] Hospice Care
I have a friend who provides in-home hospice care, usually one client at a time. If you are interested in that kind of care, I will put you in contact with her.

Re: [FRIAM] Graphics Class
Hi Ed, Was the meeting today? The note read April 2.

It's at http://www.doodle.com/qw535ewa3ux3zxcw42grre5n/admin I had suggested we meet next week. I noted though that there is a Wedtech scheduled for next week but none for this week so I've put us down to have a roundtable discussion that might include content, possible projects, scheduling and how to register with UNM of you want credit. So if you can make it, we'll meet at the Complex Wednesday April 2 at noon.

Re: [FRIAM] Graphics Class at the Complex
Hi Ed, I would like to take this class... SIgn me up. Peter On Jan 30, 2011, at 7:39 PM, Edward Angel wrote: A number of you have shown interest in having a course in Computer Graphics at the Complex. I've been working with UNM on it so that those of you who are interested and what credit for the class can do that. So here is what I'm proposing to do. We'll do the equivalent of UNM's CS/EECE 412 Introduction to Computer Graphics which counts for both undergraduate and graduate credit. I'm hoping we can use the new edition of my textbook Interactive Computer Graphics which should come out around March. If it isn't available, my publisher will get us copies of the first couple of chapters which we can use until the book is available. The course is an introduction to Computer Graphics using OpenGL. The significance of the new edition is that it will be the first textbook that uses the latest versions of OpenGL which are totally shader based. Consequently we should be able to do projects on PCs or Macs with any version of OpenGL from 3.1 up to 4.1 or on cell phones with OpenGL ES 2.0 or through browsers with WebGL. All these versions are almost identical so participants should be able to pick their platform and programming language. The content includes hardware and software, geometry, viewing, modeling, procedural methods, curves and surfaces. An old syllabus from UNM is at www.cs.unm.edu/~angel/CS433. In the modern version that we'll do, everything will be done using shaders on the GPU. I'd like to keep the format where we all do a few startup projects and then each participant picks a project to do. The plan is to start around March 1 and do the class over the next couple of months ending at the close of UNM's spring semester. To make this work for those who want credit and to earn some much needed funds for the Complex, I need seven people to register for UNM credit. Otherwise, I don't really care if others sit in as long as they participate. Not only is the subject of interest to a lot of you, if we can do this course successfully with UNM, it will lead to a long term relationship under which we could offer more courses at the Complex for which credit will be available. I'll also be working on an on line version at the same time which could also be a test case for future offerings through the Complex. Please let me know if you are interested. It would be good to have an organizational meeting sometime next week, perhaps a round table at Wedtech next week if nothing else has been scheduled yet.

Re: [FRIAM] [sfx: Discuss] JavaScript Development
I've been using TextMate to edit Javascript most of the time, augmented by a jslint plugin for TextMate. jslint (http://www.jslint.com/) is a javascript syntax checker that makes sure the syntax is correct before you run the code. It is extremely helpful. jsunit, the javascript unit testing framework, is also useful, and it will run outside a browser using rhino. On Jan 15, 2011, at 4:51 PM, Owen Densmore wrote: We're going to start some JavaScript projects, and I'd like to know: How Do You Develop JavaScript apps/libraries? There are IDEs like Eclipse, NetBeans, IntelliJ and so on, all of which have some sort of JS capability. Also a new one, Cloud9 which, believe it or not, is written in JavaScript natively! Generally these aim for a debugger, and for browser related programming, a way to preview your work in a browser within the IDE. Then there are TextEditors, with fewer bells whistles, but with syntax highlighting and keyword completion, and generally a way to run your code in your default browser. Then there is a more do-it-by-hand approach: use a simple text editor, and create a work flow using the the JS engine and debugger in the browser. Firefox and Firebug are quite popular, but Chrome and Safari also have developer tools. Often you'll just build a tiny HTML page with the JS inline, just to see how it all works. Finally, for just experimenting and exploring, there are JS shells, generally the browser JS engines but runnable outside of the browser on the command line. SpiderMonkey, WebKit, and Rhino are examples So the question is: how do you do your JS programming? And good hints/ideas? -- Owen -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Santa Fe Complex discuss group.
