I just got back from Strasbourg, France, where I gave a talk about my experience with live coding and Impromptu at the Cultures et Arts Libres Workshop, part of the 2011 Libre Software Meeting. In a nutshell, live coding is the process of writing software in real time as a form of improvised time-based art. Many thanks to the organizers for inviting me—it's been a quite rewarding experience. I'm posting the slides from the talk here in case people want to follow up on the things I mentioned.
The slides are very introductory, so I strongly encourage anyone interested to find out more about the world of Impromptu by following the links provided in the presentation.
The other two live coders who gave talks at the workshop were Marje Baalman and Dan Stowell. Both of them do very interesting work with SuperCollider (another live coding environment), so you should definitely check them out!
By the way, after the workshop there was also a live coding performance—but I'm going to report about that here.
