One P5.js library I am interested in using is p5.dom. p5.dom lets you interact with HTML5 objects beyond the canvas, including video, audio, webcam, input, and text. One of the reasons that I initially came to NYU as a Computer Science Major was because I was drawn by the reach of CS; that something I could do from one computer could potentially reach millions of people over time. It’s always been about reach for me, and really maximizing my efforts. This is partly why I’m more inclined to use p5.js which allows you to display and interact with your work online, much easier than Processing because its written in JavaScript instead of Java. Based on what drew me into CS in the first place, the concept of libraries is really interesting because it introduces the potential to get even more from the code that I’m writing. I see myself continuing to code beyond this class, and even beyond college into my adult life, and the way I envision it is not through heavy backend that doesn’t really see the light of day, but through creating art and being able to share it with people. I’m taking Intro to Web next semester and I’m very excited by the potential of being able to use what I’ve learned in p5.js, as well as the library p5.dom to compliment the work that I’m doing in that class.
