Java Workshop
Schedule
- March 17, Thursday, 13:30pm - 16:00pm, HG4.95
- There will be no powerpoint slide shows, but a projector is necessary.
- Everybody brings her/his computer to the workshop, with a network cable. We are going to do some hands-on programming.

- Object-oriented programming

- Projects

- uml/refactory
- help/documentation
- debug
- Distributed Media
- ITML
- An example: distributed presentations.
Preparation
Please install Borland JBuilder 2005. It is available as campus sofware.
- Make sure your Java Media Framework properly installed.
ITML player source code + libraries. Please download it, unzip it to anywhere on your harddisk.
- It is indeed pretty big (80+M), becuase it includes all kinds of libraries, and some MPG movies. Don't worry, you may always remove it from your computer easily by removing entire itml0.91 directory with no harm.
SMIL Workshop
A introduction on SMIL (JunHu)
- Hands-on practice: Let's make an interactive movie.
SMIL tutorial by Helio. Download a copy to your hard disk. try to play the smil documents (in chapter8/sources) with X-smiles.
Learning to SMIL: a SMIL 2.0 tutorial into 10 lessons and provides (minimal) exercises with answers
Intro to SMIL version 1.0, Tutorial on SMIL written in SMIL - pretty cool ! requires RealNetworks G2, 80KB SMIL 1.0 with RealText.
The example I failed to show you in the workshop is fixed here. It demostrates the user interaction event based synchronization:
<smil> <head> <layout> <root-layout width="300" height="200" background-color="white" /> <region id="vim_icon" left="75" top="50" width="32" height="32" /> <region id="soja_icon" left="150" top="50" width="100" height="30" /> </layout> </head> <body> <par begin="2s" dur="6s"> <img id="vim" src="vim32x32.gif" alt="The vim icon" region="vim_icon" dur="6s" /> <img src="madewithsoja.gif" alt="Made with SOJA" region="soja_icon" dur="4s" begin="vim.activateEvent" /> </par> </body> </smil>After 2 seconds, it shows you a Vim icon. You have 4 seconds chance to click on the icon. If it is clicked (vim.activateEvent), it will show "madewithsoja.gif". To see this SMIL example in action, you should have vim32x32.gif and madewithsoja.gif in the same directory. Try it out. then smile.
Preparation
- Everybody should bring her/his laptop to the workshop, with following software installed:
The complete X-Smiles XML-browser, not only the standalone SMIL player.
- Prepare some nice JPG pictures, MP3 music and AVI movies.
- You are going to click a lot, so bring your computer mouse with you - the touch pad will kill you with RSI.
