Learn Glmatrix, Requirejs and Xstream

JavaScript® (often shortened to JS) is a lightweight, interpreted, object-oriented language with first-class functions, most known as the scripting language for Web pages, but used in many non-browser environments as well such as node.js or Apache CouchDB. It is a prototype-based, multi-paradigm scripting language that is dynamic, and supports object-oriented, imperative, and functional programming styles.

In this lesson, Mark will summarize why it is good to use RequireJS for managing JavaScript dependencies. We'll go over an example of a plain vanilla JavaScript implementation of jQuery, and refactor the code to use RequireJS.

WTF is RequireJS?

RequireJS is a JavaScript file and module loader. It is optimized for in-browser use, but it can be used in other JavaScript environments, like Rhino and Node. Using a modular script loader like RequireJS will improve the speed and quality of your code.

RequireJS provides a clean way to load and manage dependencies for your Javascript applications. This video examines the first steps towards using RequireJS.

Introduction to RequireJS

WebGL (Web Graphics Library) is a JavaScript API for rendering interactive 3D and 2D graphics within any compatible web browser without the use of plug-ins. WebGL does so by introducing an API that closely conforms to OpenGL ES 2.0 that can be used in HTML5 <canvas> elements.

In this lesson, we see the benefits of using a 3rd party 3D matrix library for performing 3D matrix transformations.

Cycle.js is a framework where your app is described as a simple function taking an event stream as input and outputting an event stream.

This lesson is the first in an introduction to Cycle.js. We will see how to build from scratch a toy version of Cycle.js. See how to use RxJS to create simple web apps, and how to separate logic from effects.
