Abstract: As a user uses a programming system to create programs, data are stored into a computer memory. The data describe actions of the user in creating the programs. The programming system has a user interface and a set of templates for functions. The user interface is designed to receive input from the user to direct the system to assemble functions from the set into the programs, the functions being functions for processing of data. As the user uses the user interface to assemble a program, suggestions to the user are computed, the suggestions recommending functions to be added into the program. The computation of function suggestion is based at least in part on the stored action data.

Abstract: A system for providing an image-referenced virtual collaborative environment contains a server in communication with at least a first client device and a second client device, wherein the server comprises a memory and a processor. The processor is configured by the memory to perform the steps of: extracting properties of a vector object, where the vector object is the result of a modification to a first background image performed by a first user on the first client device; placing the extracted properties of the vector object into a feature message; sending the feature message onto a specific topic on a message bus; delivering the feature message to a second user using the second client device; extracting data from the feature message; and rendering, in real time, the vector object on a second background image viewed by the second user via the second client device.
