0. What questions to do you have for me?

  • What questions to do you have for me?
  • What are your concerns? What are you worried about? What do you want to ask but you are embarrassed?
  • All questions allowed!
  • 10 minutes alone on post it notes, then double group size every 10 minutes until it's the whole group.
  • This idea came from Zach Lieberman. He does this exercise at the start of every session of School of Poetic Computation in New York.

1. Introduction to openFrameworks.

2. Trying to get openFrameworks building on your machine.

  • Download openFrameworks. Read the relevant guide for your operating system.
  • This may take some time, lets get sat in groups organised by Operating System and Operating System version. Some things will go wrong. That's ok!
  • Once everyone has a build going, let's try to build some examples together.

3. The oFBook.

4. Homework assignment!

5. What questions to do you have for me?
