<p>Pure Data (Pd) is a free, open-source, community supported <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dataflow_programming">data flow language</a> and
coding environment with an emphasis on sound, music, and multimedia.
It was originally written by Miller Puckette (also the original author
of Max/Max MSP) and runs on Linux, Mac OSX, Android, and Windows.</p>
<p>Pd has been used widely in the creation of art -- such as music,
sound art, visual art, generative, new-media, and interactive art. Pd
interfaces readily with MIDI equipment and many popular
microcontrollers.</p>
<p>In this 4-hour course, students will learn the basics of Pd and will have fun developing foundational Pd patching skills. </p>
<p>Beginners are welcome. No prior computer programming or sound programming experience is required!</p>
<h2>Notes:</h2>
<p>Students should attempt to install Pd prior to the workshop...but if not, no biggie. We can help with that!</p>
<p>Seating is limited to 20 participants. Please RSVP to <a href="mailto:jason@noisybox.net">jason@noisybox.net</a> to reserve a spot.</p>
<p>Attendees will respect <a href="http://fluxlab.io/conduct-agreements/">Flux's code of conduct</a> and will be asked to donate.</p><p><a href="http://fluxlab.io/conduct-agreements/">http://fluxlab.io/conduct-agreements/</a><br>
