Jax is a powerful framework for quickly building JavaScript-based WebGL applications. Although it is written in a combination of Ruby and JavaScript, the end result of any Jax application is just JavaScript. This makes it easy to drop into any Web application, from a Ruby on Rails app to a pure HTML website, and anywhere in between.

The most up-to-date documentation, including how to use the Ruby and JavaScript APIs, will be generated directly from the source code via RDoc and PDoc. The JavaScript API documentation is hosted at http://guides.jaxgl.com/api/js; the Ruby API documentation is forthcoming. Both are in-progress, and not yet complete.

Feel free to add content to this Wiki as you see fit. If you discover some cool feature or technique that hasn't been discussed, drop it here so others can make use of it!

Read the Jax Guides

The Guides are by far the best place to start learning how to use Jax.
