#inroduction to programming

I recently ran a workshop with a group of first year Graphic Design: New Media students, introducing them to programming using Javascript and as part of it I asked them to create non-traditional digital 'brushes', avoiding standard notions of usefulness and usability. I've compiled them into a multi-user online drawing application here: http://draw.ws.jit.su/   (It's now down - need that nodejitsu account for something else)
