What is Max/MSP/Jitter?

Max/MSP is a graphical programming environment, which means you create
your own software using a visual toolkit of objects, and connect them
together with patch cords. The basic environment that includes MIDI,
control, user interface, and timing objects is called Max. Built on top of
Max are hundreds of objects, that do a variety of rad stuff, including
Jitter

Jitter is a set of video, matrix, and 3D graphics objects for the Max
graphical programming environment. The Jitter objects extend the
functionality of MaxMSP with flexible means to generate and manipulate
matrix 
data -- any data that can be expressed in rows and columns, such as
video and still images, 3D geometry, as well as text, spreadsheet data,
particle systems, voxels, or audio. Jitter is useful to anyone interested
in real-time video processing, custom effects, 2D/3D graphics,
audio/visual interaction, data visualization, and analysis.

Who should take this class?

This class is for anyone interested in using Max/MSP to create
multimedia programs for sculpture, installation, performance and sweet
technology art in general. This is an intro class, and no prior experience
