Hello everyone,
Before I launch into my topic for this post, A bit about TUCS.
The Tezpur University Computer Society was established in 1997. The goal of the society was (and remains) making computers more palatable to the members of our university and beyond. Thus, this involved organizing computer-themed activities such as special quizzing, programming contents and CompuBlast, a computer-themed university festival.
Now, in 2008, a general technical festival of Tezpur University, techXetra was instituted. Departmental technical fests, such as CompuBlast ceased.
However, 2009 onwards TUCS is involved in conducting technical lectures every Sunday to university students. Students, faculty and research scholars, not just from the Department of Computer Science, but also from other departments are involved in this.
Our activities will recommence in the Semester, which is August 2010
I wanted to write this post about a very interesting project that grew out of MIT's media lab. Its called Processing . Processing is a java-based programming environment used for graphics programming. Its very easy and fun too.
Extensions to Processing have made it possible to include sound, video, computer vision and even robotics in the programs(called sketches). Processing is especially useful in teaching Graphics programming to beginners.
I hope you will check it out.
