John Resig - New Processing.js and Sizzle.js Sites

• jeresig 18y ago
  For context, here's the previous discussion from when Processing.js was released: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=185191 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=185191 and the discussion from when jQuery 1.3 (and, thus, Sizzle) was released: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=433631 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=433631

  Very cool! I wonder why is processing a language as opposed to JS library?
  • jeresig 18y ago
    I think you may be slightly confused. Processing is (historically) a visualization programming language (http://processing.org/ http://processing.org/ - implemented in Java). Processing.js is simply a port of that language to JavaScript, implemented as a JavaScript library.

  To see cool stuff made with the original java version of Processing with source : http://openprocessing.org/ http://openprocessing.org/ This website runs processing in a Java applet.

  Processing.js is a wonderful tool. I'm not sure exactly what it is about Processing, but I find writing rich, graphical applications a breeze using Processing, and Processing.js Just Works in all major browsers!

  very cool. Do you have any demos that show explicitly how Processing.js can communicate with the document loaded in the browser, ... for instance, to enter a value on a form and then submit the form? This would open up new creative ways for user interaction.

    Here's a couple of example that do exactly what you are talking about using Processing.js and the DOM with forms etc: http://hyper-metrix.com/blog/The%20Death%20of%20Flash/form-interaction/form-interaction.html http://hyper-metrix.com/blog/The%20Death%20of%20Flash/form-i... http://hyper-metrix.com/blog/The%20Death%20of%20Flash/data-visualization/data-visualization.html http://hyper-metrix.com/blog/The%20Death%20of%20Flash/data-v...
