 * '''Python''' - This is another programming language. It was designed to be very readable even to humans, by using more english words (as opposed to using punctuation).
 * '''AJAX - Asynchronous JavaScript and XML''' - which means to use the XMLHttpRequest object to communicate with other server-side scripts. It is "Asynchronous" because it can make new requests to the server without requiring the page to be reloaded, and thus it is used to update the page based on events. This is really useful and is often used to make pages 'responsive', allowing you to design a page that will change accordingly as you resize the browser window.

 <blockquote>"Designed to support the creation of new works of computational literature, the [https://rednoise.org/rita/ RiTA] library provides tools for artists and writers working with natural language in programmable media. The library is designed to be simple while still enabling a range of powerful features, from grammar and Markov-based generation to text-mining, to feature-analysis (part-of-speech, phonemes, stresses, etc). All RiTa functions are heuristic and do not require training data, thus making the core library quite compact. RiTa can also be integrated with its own user-customisable lexicon, or with the WordNet database. RiTa is implemented in both Java and JavaScript, is free/libre and open-source, and runs in a number of popular programming environments including Android, Processing, Node, and p5.js."

 * ELIZA - an early natural language processing program designed at MIT's Artificial Intelligence Lab which was able to convince humans that it understood us, although it had no framework for actually contextualising or understanding events or speech. Considered one of the first programs to have passed the Turing test.
 <blockquote>ELIZA is based on very simple pattern recognition, based on a stimulus-response model. ELIZA also introduced the personal pronoun transformations common to ALICE and many other programs. "Tell me what you think about me" is transformed by the robot into "You want me to tell you what I think about you?" creating a simple illusion of understanding.

 What Weizenbaum found specifically revolting was that the Doctor's patients actually believed the robot really understood their problems. They believed the robot therapist could help them in a constructive way. His reaction might be best understood like that of a western physician's disapproval of herbal medicines, or an astronomer's disdain for astrology. Obviously ELIZA touched something deep in the human experience, but not what its author intended.</blockquote>

 This class is designed for people who do not have any programming background but who have an interest in generative poetry and have an open mind to learning some simple methods for non-coders to create their own textual mashups. In this 2 hour class we will try to cover:
