Protovis
Protovis composes custom views of data with simple marks such as bars and dots. Unlike low-level graphics libraries that quickly become tedious for visualization, Protovis defines marks through dynamic properties that encode data, allowing inheritance, scales and layouts to simplify construction. Protovis is free and open-source, provided under the BSD License. It uses JavaScript and SVG for web-native visualizations; no plugin required (though you will need a modern web browser)! Protovis is no longer under active development.The final release of Protovis was v3.3.1 (4.7 MB). This project was led by Mike Bostock and Jeff Heer of the Stanford Visualization Group, with significant help from Vadim Ogievetsky. Updates June 28, 2011 - Protovis is no longer under active development. September 17, 2010 - Release 3.3 is available on GitHub. May 28, 2010 - ZOMG! October 1, 2009 - Release 3.1 is available, including minor bug fixes. April 9, 2009 - First release on Google Code. Getting Started
On the joys of 1.0
In a little less than two weeks, we’re going to be releasing Popcorn.js version 1.0. Our team is pretty excited, not least because we’ll be doing the release at the Mozilla Media Festival in London. We’re also excited because getting to 1.0 is a really big deal, and we’re happy to have made it. A year ago I was announcing the release of another joint Mozilla-Seneca project, Processing.js 1.0 . Shipping 1.0 means a heavy investment of time, and the effort and co-ordination of a dedicated team. It’s not typically the kind of thing you see coming out of the classroom and from college students, since most academic projects remain academic, confined to the limits of a semester . I remember one of the first visits Mike Shaver made to my open source Mozilla class at Seneca many years ago. When I’m hiring I want to see what you’ve shipped. The way you ship 1.0 in an academic setting, and do it repeatedly, is to use a hybrid approach, and to form a network of support. See you in London.

If you haven’t heard about popcorn-js you are seriously missing out. Some Torontonians refer to it as CP24 online but of course its much better – it’s open-source and allows anyone to make a content driven site. [Read my last post to get a better overview] It has been less than 6 months since the initial launch of popcorn-js and only 1 month since our decision to make it into a plug-in architecture. Yes, we revamped the entire library in just one month. Whats Changed? In short everything; we re-wrote the entire thing. Another exciting addition is butter. Looking to get involved? There is countless ways for people to get involved in the project including idea generation, video generation, bug filing, documentation, promotion, and of course writing code. #popcorn irc channelpopcorn-js lighthouse accountpopcorn-js GitHub repo you can fork fromto join an online discussion or see people’s comments visit the project siteto view the most recent demo visit popcornjs.org Like this: Like Loading...

Press calls Mozilla Popcorn “the future of online video” « o p e n m a t t
Mozilla Popcorn has been getting some noteworthy applause and media attention lately, with Wired and Fast Company both calling it the future of online video. As we approach the launch of Popcorn 1.0 at the upcoming Mozilla Festival, it’s looking more and more like the kernel of something that can blow up big. Wired: Popcorn “could be the next big thing in internet video” Some excerpts: At Popcorn Hackathon, Coders Team With Filmmakers to Supercharge Web Video Popcorn.js, which few outside the web-development world have ever heard of, could be the next big thing in internet video. Popcorn-powered videos work in any HTML5-compatible browser and are easy to navigate for anyone who has ever used the internet. If creating videos with Popcorn (the authoring tool is cheekily called Popcorn Maker) becomes a lingua franca for video encoders everywhere, it could make video-watching and movie fandom a far less passive experience.

Popcorn.js 0.2 Facelift – Popcorn.js 0.2 Facelift – Bocoup Web Log
Popcorn.js, the HTML5 <video> framework, is getting a facelift. Rick, Al and I spent last weekend working on Popcorn with Anna and Scott from the Centre for Development of Open Technology (CDOT) at Seneca College on the forthcoming release of Popcorn JS. The History Bocoup’s own Nick Cammaratta attended a week long code sprint for Popcorn JS 0.1 leading up to the 2010 Mozilla summit back in July of 2010. At CDOT, Anna and Scott have been working under David Humphrey and Brett Gaylor on Mozilla’s Web Made Movies project. Mozilla recently engaged Bocoup to develop an authoring tool for Popcorn.js to make it even easier for filmmakers to make web movies with Popcorn. Bocoup's Recommendation With this in mind we recommended using an enhanced singleton pattern, originally pioneered by the jQuery project. One of the original goals for popcorn.js 0.1 was to make it easy for filmmakers to use. Imagine being able to write the following code:
