Abstract
Multimedia is an art form that uses computers as a means of personal expression. However, much multimedia content is unattractive, and many applications have poor user interfaces because many developers don´t have training in both programming and content creation. To counteract this, we teach students QuickTime for Java, which provides a rich library for manipulating media. Our students reported an increased understanding of multimedia programming and developed creative skills.
