Creative JavaScript and HTML 5 - New York

SOLD OUT - find out about other CreativeJS courses

Two full days of creative JavaScript and HTML5 training. Very limited tickets to ensure a great atmosphere and focussed attention. 

Over the last few months, creative coder extraordinaire Seb Lee-Delisle has been inspiring a whole new audience in the art of creative coding with JavaScript and HTML5. Just look back at the #creativejs hashtag on twitter to see how the alumni are continuing to use their new found skills in ever more exciting ways. 

And now he's coming to America!

You can learn how to draw, animate, and create truly interactive content, including advanced mouse interactions, pixel manipulation, image blending, physics, 3D and games.

What will be covered

We’ll start off with the basics of rendering into an HTML5 canvas, and animating simple objects. We'll then learn that physics simulations don't need to be rocket science. And what better way to use physics than to make a particle system with sparks, smoke and explosions?

Working in two dimensions is one thing but three is one better! We'll demystify 3D rendering by creating our own simple 3D system. And then move on to more complex examples using three.js library from Mr.doob and his team.

We’ll also examine the differences between using canvas, and DOM elements to help choose which one is right for us.

Finally we'll use these new found abilities to make a simple game.

Who is it for?

This course is for front end developers who want to explore visual interactive possibilities in JavaScript, CSS and HTML5.

Prerequisites

The examples start off very simply and gradually get more complex. So whether you're just starting out in JavaScript or if you're a more experienced coder, you'll still get a lot out of the training.
