WebGL - Andrea Ward

WebGL (Web Graphics Library) is a JavaScript API (Application Programming Interface) that allows you to render 3D graphics in your web browser. It was developed at Mozilla in 2006 and has become a common medium for programming web applications.

After some research, I've found that WebGL has been used to create well-known music videos, animated shorts, computer games, and has even been utilized in the lab for projecting 3D images of microscopic chemical structures.

I watched a few videos about WebGL, and the understanding that I've gained is that it simplifies the programming process to a level at which beginners can not only comprehend but can have fun with as well.
