   Tags: Processing.js Sparklines.js javascript

   There are a few updates concerning Sparklines.js, the most important of which is that it has a public repository for those who are interested in contributing (or just critiquing the code).

7. Title: Updating Processing.js Graphics via Ajax
   Tags: Processing.js javascript

   A look at an example of using Ajax to create synchronized and dynamic graphics. To keep things simple the backend creating the data is a one line php script, but the concept applies equally well to real services.

    Processing.js has been everywhere the past few days, but I didn't notice too much assistances for Javascript neophytes getting started with it, so I put one together while playing around a bit with it this evening.
