## What it is
An interactive Node.js-based workshopper that teaches GLSL shaders and graphics programming through self-directed lessons completed in the browser via WebGL. It is part of the nodeschool-style workshopper ecosystem, installed via npm and run from the command line.

## Use cases
- learn GLSL shader programming from scratch
- practice WebGL graphics programming interactively
- self-directed lessons on fragment and vertex shaders
- teach myself graphics programming in the browser
- interactive tutorial for writing shaders
- learn the basics of GPU programming

## When to choose
- you want a hands-on, browser-based introduction to GLSL and shaders
- you prefer self-paced workshopper-style lessons with immediate visual feedback
- you already have Node.js installed and want a quick start via npm

## When to avoid
- you need a comprehensive, up-to-date graphics course covering modern WebGL2/WebGPU
- you want a maintained curriculum with active updates (last release 2021)
- you need a reference manual rather than an interactive tutorial

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: maintenance
- function: graphics, developer-tools, cli
- domain: graphics, education, tutorials, web-development
- platform: browser, cross-platform
- tags: glsl, shaders, webgl, workshopper, interactive-lessons, graphics-programming, nodejs
