openFrameworks: an introduction — a 3 days workshop by Zachary Lieberman, Arturo Castro and Theo Watson :: May 28-30, 2009 :: iMAL, Quai des Charbonnages, Brussels.

This workshop is an introduction to the openFrameworks library. OpenFrameworks is a C++ library for creative coding. It is designed to assist the creative process by providing a simple and intuitive framework for experimentation. Simply put, openFrameworks is a tool that makes it much easier to make things via code, and here via compiled and fast C++ code giving access to the full power of the machine and its operating system.

Contrarily to many other libraries targeted for game developers, audio programmers and application developers, openFrameworks is a library that would be the bare minimum necessary to get started doing audio-visual work with C++. It integrates openGL for graphics, rtAudio for audio input and output, freeType for fonts, freeImage for image input and output, quicktime for video playing and sequence grabbing.
.
OpenFrameworks is actively developed by artists Zach Lieberman and Theodore Watson along with help from the OF community. OpenFrameworks is used by many artists and creative collectives such as Golan Levin, Cory Arcangel, Graffiti Research Lab, Chris Surgue, Ars Electronica Future Lab.
