Description: Ruby-Processing is an awesome library which wraps Processing with a JRuby interpreter and a simple Ruby syntax. Using ruby-processing your Rails app can programmatically create complex images using static images, 2D shapes, 3D with OpenGL, animation and video.

We can leverage the power of Processing and existing Java libraries from the comfort of Ruby.

In this session we’ll take a quick look at ruby-processing to understand how it works, then add dynamic image creation to a sample Rails app. We’ll discuss the potential of leveraging Processing from Rails and layout directions for further research.

Speaker:

Jeff Casimir runs the respected Jumpstart Labs, where he will be glad to teach you Ruby, Rails, Flex, SQL, etc!
