Class 5: Time & Events (the Immediate Data of Consciousness)

  1. Read the Quartz 2D Programming Guide.  This is very long parts are quite tedious, but if you want to have any understanding of how drawing is accomplished on the iPhone it’s a good idea to understand this text.  In general, the Quartz 2D API is a good “step up” from how things are done in Processing.
