WebGL, the hardware-accelerated 3D graphics API for HTML5 applications, is now ubiquitous, running on all browsers and platforms from desktop to mobile. So what’s next? 3D graphics pioneer and WebGL developer Tony Parisi explores WebGL 2, the next major upgrade which already runs in Firefox and is coming later this year to Chrome. Providing background, overview information, and detailed code examples, Tony offers attendees practical knowledge about creating content and deploying applications on a variety of platforms and devices, including virtual reality. In addition, Tony takes a look at two related developments: glTF, the emerging standard for downloading 3D graphics into WebGL-based applications, and WebVR, the experimental JavaScript API for developing browser-based virtual reality for the latest generation of consumer hardware.

Web cryptography workshop

Web cryptography workshop

The Internet's security depends on cryptography. People use "secure" websites to take advantage of current cryptography methods. But what if users can't (or don't want to) trust the web server with their secrets? Web-page authors can use the Web Cryptography API to give their users end-to-end secrecy and authentication through web servers, not just to them. Charles and Laurie will show you how.

The ability to visualize millions of data points opens up a world of applications. But its hard to quickly render that much data, let alone compute anything with it. Thibaud Hottelier shares the GPU technologya hybrid client/server GPU engine using Node-OpenCL and a new library, CL.jsthat Graphistry used to break the million datapoint barrier for fast, interactive visualizations.

Design has a top of the funnel problem: high school and college students are unaware of the intellectual and economic value of a career in design, despite the fact that design continues to be THE fundamental constraint on most technology companies. Bob Baxley helps you become an ambassador for design by providing the tools to inspire potential students to pursue a career in design.

The many minds of the maker: The programmer's mental model and the coding designer

October 10, 2019

Design practitioners are beginning to understand the practical utility of writing code as a way to make design happen, but the obstacles to skill building are a significant barrier to entry and require designers to reframe how they think about work (and their own learning). Livia Labate offers guidance on how to navigate these challenges.
