18.45 - 19.15: "Hotglue" presentation by the developers Danja Vasiliev & Gottfried Haider
Hotglue is a 'content manipulation system' - web authoring software that liberates its users from the monotony of 'movable type' and web-design dogmas. The main feature of 'Hotglue' is 'free-hand' composition of web-pages; users can create new elements with a click of a mouse and position those in the browser window as they will. 'Hotglue' comes without any templates or defaults, the users are invited to create their web-pages from scratch and in their own, totally unique way. Extremely simple yet powerful user interface allows to 'collage' texts, pictures and video into incredible arrangements - all in the familiar window of a web browser!
Don't miss the Hotglue workshop in the afternoon!
