#When, where, who
- The workshop runs July 14-18, 11 AM-4 PM (Lecture 11-12, lunch break 12-1, lab session with instructor support 1-4)
- CNMAT is located at 1750 Arch Street, Berkeley, CA
- Instructors: [cnmat:node/509|Michael Zbyszynski] and other experienced Max/MSP/Jitter teachers
The workshop will be held in the Main Room at CNMAT. Each morning will start with a brief lecture introducing important concepts and a variety of hands-on programming projects based on these concepts. Each afternoon's lab assignment will solidify students' understanding of the most important ideas; additional projects will be available for faster or more advanced students.
#BYOC
Participants are required to bring their own laptops with Max/MSP 5.0 already installed and running. (Mac OSX or Windows XP) Jitter is optional, but recommend for students interested in video processing. Also, please bring a pair of headphones, if possible.
Furthermore, please bring any aspect of your work that is portable and you'd like to use. Media files (audio, still images, movies) can be incorporated into the lab activities, as can small controllers such as joysticks, tablets, etc.
#Preparation
While we don't assume any prior programming knowledge, or Max experience, a little bit of preparation helps absorb all of the material presented. The best preparation for the Day School is to have a look at the excellent tutorials that come with Max. They are extensive; almost overwhelmingly so. To find them, open Max and click on the Help menu. You'll see links to a spectrum of useful materials, including Max, MSP, and Jitter-specific tutorials. A realistic goal is to check out the Max Tutorials that are listed as "Basic." This is still quite a lot of material. After that, skim the tutorials for anything relevant to your art practice.
