The July 2008 Summer Workshops at CNMAT

CNMAT presents a series of summer workshops for students, artists, musicians and anyone interested in learning new software. This year we offer training in Max/MSP (for both [http://cnmat.berkeley.edu/event/2008/03/11/max_msp_jitter_day_school_beg...|beginners] and [http://cnmat.berkeley.edu/event/2008/03/11/max_msp_night_school_intermed...|advanced users]), a [http://cnmat.berkeley.edu/event/2008/03/06/2008_sensor_workshop_musician...|sensor workshop for musicians and artists], and a three-evening [http://cnmat.berkeley.edu/event/2008/03/11/jitter_night_school|introduction to Jitter].
