after a few hiccups got the wireless thing going on so i am blogging live from san antonio, texas, the foyer of the san antonio conference center.
today was about xml and manifestations thereof for me - most of the day going over some xml basics and then looking at smil and svg. Matt and Brendan reminded me of svg during their presentation on friday and today has just filled in some gaps. the more i get into this stuff the more interested i am...notes from this morning available soon at www.javakathy.com.
alice was "building interactive environments" all day but i'll leave her to tell you about that later.
svg - scalable vector graphics
cool because searchable (text based), text editable, rendered on demand, scalable, lots of very nice modules available including smil 2.0 animation module.
searchable means that this is potentially a great storage and retrieval medium for graphics.
note to self: want to think about rendering on demand and potential for tie in to alice's world - "real time emotive daemons"
