This page contains various tutorials for getting things done with different software tools. Whenever I need to learn something, I teach myself how to use the new tool, but quickly forget it, unfortunately. From this experience I have learned that it requires less time for me to write a tutorial as I go along the first time, so that the second time I don't have to reinvent the wheel again. I try to make the tutorials informative and helpful so that others can benefit from them as well. Enjoy!

This tutorial assumes some basic Java programming skills. Start with the basic: create a new Processing project in Eclipse with simple animation.
A page presenting several options for creating a path behind animated objects.
This tutorial quickly introduces VisualVM (which is included in Sun's JDK) for profiling a Processing application running on Eclipse (or in its default IDE).





SQLite and Processing

ProcessingLogo.jpg
Title Description         
Tutorial #1 A simple tutorial for accessing an SQLite database from Processing. This tutorial uses the Processing native IDE                         
Tutorial #2 This tutorial is similar in its goal to Tutorial #1, but it uses Eclipse as the IDE, requiring the setup of the SQLite libraries and class files in the Eclipse project.
Introduction to Processing A quick introduction to the language Processing, with some references and links.





Formatting Papers with ShareLatex

ShareLatexLogo.png
Title Description

                                                           

This is a short tutorial that will get you to create a skeleton Latex document formatted for the ACM publication standard
This skeleton is simply the v2-acmsmall package stripped of most extraneous information. The full template can be found on the ACM Latex Styles page.









iBook Author Animations

IBookAuthorLogo.jpg
Title Description
  • A skeleton widget                                                       
 This is not really a tutorial, but rather a minimal series of files one can start with to create a new widget by hand.
A short tutorial illustrating how to create a 2-image animation with buttons allowing the user to go from one image to the other. .
This tutorial takes the excellent article for creating a javascript calculator by Simon Southwell and inserts it into the skeleton widget of this section.
A quick and tiny tutorial illustrating how to take a Google WebKit (GWT) project and convert it into a Dashboard widget ready for export into an iBook.




Google's DSPL (DataSet Publishing Language)

GoogleDSPL.png
Title Description
  • DSPL: First Contact                                                       
 A first look at DSPL with a simple example showing how to plot two columns of numbers as a function of time (years)





MatPlotLib for Python

MatPlotLib.png
Title Description
  • MatPlotLib Tutorial #1                                                       
 An introduction to the MatPlotLib Python library allowing you to generate MatLab-style graphs in Python.






Raspberry Pi

RaspberryPiLogo.gif
Title Description

                                                      

A simple client-server example illustrating how to control a simple data exchange between a laptop (a mac in this instance) and a Raspberry Pi.
This example shows how to count events with a Raspberry Pi using user-level interrupts. The tutorial ends with suggestions to further increase the resolution and accuracy of this setup.

This example simply takes the client of the client-server tutorial of this section and replaces it with a client written in Processing 2, using communication over sockets.




Arduino
