Node Summit 2013 – Generator: Adding a Node-based Extensibility Layer to Photoshop

Six months ago, Photoshop only had two JavaScript interpreters. Now it has three! And the new one uses Node! And it’s called Generator! And it’s open source! https://github.com/adobe-photoshop/generator-core. In this talk, Joel will give an architectural overview of Generator, which offers an out-of-process extensibility layer for Photoshop that’s designed to get pixels out of Photoshop very quickly. He’ll also discuss what he learned about building Node-based extensibility platforms for legacy applications.

SPEAKER: Joel Brandt, Senior Research Scientist, Adobe
