uncharted territory," Zabinski said. But over the years with the incredible advances in computer technology, such as the Internet, computer camps have now become quite sophisticated. The primary focus of NCC is to teach computer programming and software applications including networking, web animation, Flash and graphics. An optional sports program is also available. Each week all levels of programming in Basic, C++, Java, Assembler, HTML, XML, Open GL and JavaScript are offered. Campers may attend one or multi-week sessions with a continuous curriculum that is age appropriate and suitable for beginners to super advanced. The coed campers, ages 8-18, enjoy small group instruction on state-of-the-art PC and Mac computers for ample 'hands-on'.
Cowboy Bebop
at 2008-04-17 11:52:30
IV - Ed is a very strange, young girl (assumed to be about 13). Born on Earth, Ed is what you might call a free spirit. Not much is known about her origins, only that she wasn't really raised by her parents and spent some of her earlier childhood in an orphanage. However, this has not dampened her very sunny and energetic disposition. For all her quirks, Ed is also a genius hacker, maybe the best ever. She has a self-styled computer built out of a pizza box that she calls "Tomato." Ed has a good rapport with Jet, who acts as a surrogate father and Faye, who acts as something of a big sister (much to Faye's chagrin). Ed also seems to be the only person who can understand Ein

sponge and the Koch snowflake. Those which are generated by stochastic rather than deterministic processes (examples include fractal landscapes). Fractals of all three kinds have been used as the basis for vast sections of digital art and animation. Starting with 2-dimensional details of fractals such as the Mandelbrot Set, fractals have found artistic application in fields as varied as texture generation, plant growth simulation and landscape generation. Many fractal art galleries can now be found on the Internet. Perhaps a good starting point would be the fractal pages of Stephen C. Ferguson who has made several fractal generators--for example http://www.eclectasy.com/Iterations-et-Flarium24. For an example of the state of the art in fractal landscapes, http://www.fractal-landscapes.com contains an excellent gallery and a description of the mathematics behind fractal landscapes. For an example of a

color. Provides multiple resolutions of each image. .gif image/gif Graphics Interchange Format Used extensively on the web, but sometimes avoided due to patent issues. Supports animated images. Supports only 255 colors per frame, so requires lossy quantization for full-color photos; using multiple frames can improve color precision. Uses non-lossy, patented LZW compression. This patent expired in 2003. .iff .ilbm ? Interchange file format / Interleave bitmap File format popular on the Amiga computer. ILBM is a subtype of the IFF fileformat, which can contain more as just pictures. .jpeg .jpg image/jpeg Joint Photographic Experts Group Used extensively for photos on the web. Uses lossy compression; the quality can vary greatly depending on the compression settings. .mng video/x-mng Multiple-image Network Graphics Animation format using datastreams similar to those of PNG and JPEG,

series also introduced many original characters, such as Launchpad McQuack, Mrs. Bentina Beakly, Webby Vanderquack, Doofus Drake, and Duckworth the Butler. DuckTales was the most successful of Disney's early attempts to create high-quality animation for a TV animated series (earlier shows included The Wuzzles and The Gummi Bears in 1985). Disney invested a far greater amount of money into the TV series than had previously been spent on animated shows of the time. This was considered a risky move, because animated TV series were generally considered low-budget, throwaway investments for most of the history of TV cartoons up through the 1980s. Many critics say that Disney's own animation studio had lost most of its luster during the period from Walt Disney's passing through the 1980s. However, the studio took a number
GIF

bitmap image format that is widely used on the World Wide Web, both for still images and for animations. "GIF" is often pronounced giff with a hard g (that is, "gift" without the final t), but the pronunciation specified by the creators of the file format in the official documentation is jiff. It was introduced in 1987 by CompuServe in order to provide a color image format for their file downloading areas, replacing their earlier RLE format which was black and white only. GIF became popular because it used LZW data compression, which was more efficient than the run-length encoding that formats such as PCX and MacPaint used, and fairly large images could therefore be downloaded in a reasonable amount of time, even with very slow modems. The optional interlacing feature,

Copenhagen, Denmark) is a writer, speaker, and consultant on software and web-design usability. He earned a Ph.D. in user interface design and computer science from the Technical University of Denmark. Nielsen worked at Bellcore, IBM, and as a senior researcher at computer company Sun Microsystems. He subsequently co-founded usability consulting company Nielsen Norman Group with fellow usability expert Donald Norman. He is noted for his (often stern) criticisms of popular websites, pointing out how he feels many concentrate too heavily on gimmicky features such as animation, flash, and graphics at the expense of usability, particularly for disabled visitors. Nielsen writes a monthly newsletter on web design matters and has published several books on the subject of web design. His published books include: Designing Web Usability : The Practice of Simplicity (ISBN

manufacture of wider tubes. However, due to the negative heavy metal health effects associated with disposal of CRTs in landfills and the space-saving attributes of flat screen technologies that lack the aspect ratio limitations of CRTs, CRTs are becoming obsolete. The switch-over to DTV systems co-incides with a change in picture format from a aspect ratio of 4:3 (1.33:1) to an aspect ratio of 16:9 (1.78:1). This enables TV to get closer to the aspect ratio of movies, which range from 1.85:1 to 2.35:1. The 16:9 format was first introduced for "widescreen" video and DVDs. The current technical implementation of 16:9 uses the same pixel raster as 4:3 video, in a full screen anamorphic format. There is no technical reason for this aspect ratio change to be coupled with the introduction

a message. Applied in any media such as print, digital media, motion picture, animation, product decoration, packaging, signs, identities,etc. Graphic design as a practice can be traced back to the origin of the written word, but only in the late 19th century did it become identified as a separate entity. The compelling if somewhat obscure paintings in the caves of Lascaux, and the birth of written language in the third or fourth millennium BC, are both significant milestones in the history of graphic design. The Book of Kells is a very beautiful and very early example of graphic design in a form that would be acceptable even today. The Book is a lavishly illustrated hand-written copy of the Christian Bible created by Irish monks in the ninth century AD. Johann Gutenberg's
Furry fandom

(see furry for more details). It originated as a fusion of science fiction, comic book, and animation fandom during the 1980s. It has thrived and grown, evolving into its own branch of fandom and finding adherents all over the world -- enough that they may be regarded as forming a subculture. Furry fandom has a large presence on the Internet, and many furry conventions in North America and Europe are held every year, the largest being Anthrocon in Philadelphia in July. Furry fans, sometimes referred to as furries or furs for short, are eager for more material than is available from mainstream publishers. The demand is filled by fellow fans -- amateur artists, writers and publishers who produce drawings, paintings, stories, independent comic books, fanzines, Web sites and even small press
Bard's Tale

Amiga platforms. The game featured a game style similar to Dungeons and Dragons and most of its game play was based on the earlier computer game Wizardry, but The Bard's Tale was notable for its unprecendented pseudo-3D graphics and animation. It was so successful and popular that it inspired several knock-offs and imitations. The name The Bard's Tale became the calling card of the series, though it was not meant to. The original planned name for the series was Tales of the Unknown. Even though the games album cover clearly stated Tales of the Unknown, Volume I: The Bard's Tale, the words 'The Bard's Tale' were overpowering compared to the prefix, which was muted and blended in with the background. So, 'The Bard's Tale' is what stuck in players' minds. As
Web comic
at 2008-04-17 11:52:30
Web comic Web comics are comic strips that are published only on the web. Many web comics are little different from traditional paper comics, but a few web comics artists have taken advantage of the web's unique abilities. Scott McCloud has pioneered the idea of the infinite canvas, the idea that web comics should be free to spread out in every direction indefinetly, rather than confining themselves to dimensions that would fit on a piece of paper. Other artists have experimented with the incorporation of animation into their comics (although purists may believe animation has no place in comics). The web has, at least potentially, several advantages over the conventional form of publishing. It has removed many of the traditional barriers that prevent an independent comics
Web banner
at 2008-04-17 11:52:30
Web banner A web banner or banner ad is a form of advertising on the World Wide Web. This form of online advertising entails embedding an advertisement into a web page. It is intended to attract a web surfer to a commercial website by linking them to the web site of the advertiser. The advertisement is constructed from an image (GIF, JPEG), JavaScript program or multimedia object employing technologies such as Java, Shockwave or Flash, often employing animation or sound to maximize presence. Images are usually in a high-aspect ratio shape. That is to say, either wide and short, or tall and narrow, hence the reference to banners. These images are usually placed on web pages that have interesting content, such as a newspaper article or
Extended Vector Animation
at 2008-04-17 11:52:30
Extended Vector Animation Extended Vector Animation (EVA) is a web-based vector graphic file format developed by Sharp in 1996. The EVA format differs from other vector formats because only the changes in vectors over time is recorded instead of information per frame. The format is popular in Japan and several versions of EVA Animator software have been sold and included as standard software in Japanese Sharp notebook computers such as the Mebuis. The EVA format is comparable to the Macromedia Flash format except that the files are 13 times smaller than Flash counterparts. A ten minute animation produced in the EVA format is only around 500 KB where as the same animation produced in Flash would be several MB in size. Although very popular in Japan ,the Animator
Independent animation
at 2008-04-17 11:52:30
Independent animation Independent animation is a term used to describe animated short cartoons and feature films produced outside the professional Hollywood animation inudstry. Because animation is very time-consuming and expensive to produce, the vast majority of animated productions are made by professional studios. When the Hollywood animtion industry entered a decline during the 1960s (see Hollywood Animation: The TV Era), a small but steady number of independent animation producers kept the art of animation alive. They produced a number of experimental films that pushed the boundaries of the medium, experimenting in ways that Hanna-Barbera and Disney didn't dare to consider. A number of independent animation producers went on to produce mainstream animation, and they became successful in their own right. Many independent animation short films are largely
