In this video, I’ll take you on a journey through the basics of how to read in image data dynamically using JavaScript. Together we’ll explore how to read in image data in three different ways – from a specific filename on your server, using the HTML file upload field and via drag and drop into the window.

This video is one of the latest lessons from the course on “Manipulating and Using Images and Video Using JavaScript” by myself, Patrick Catanzariti. This course is available right now on SitePoint’s learning platform Learnable.com!
