New Projects

Programming with Examples

The programming-with-examples (PwE) workflow lets developers create interactive applications with the help of example data. It takes a general programming environment and adds dedicated user interfaces for visualizing and managing the data.

This is particularly useful in developing data-intensive applications such as physical computing, image processing, video authoring, machine learning, and others that require intensive parameter tuning.

SIGPX

This is a Japanese domestic study group for those interested in programming environments and their programming experience, founded in January 2016.

2016-2026
Live Tuning

Live Tuning is the subset of Live Programming interaction that only involves changes in constant values through parameter tuning interfaces. It expands Live Programming benefits to non-programmers.
