review 1: Processing is an amazing language. Powerful abstractions make it easy to draw interactive graphics with only a handful of lines of code. I used to think it only supports a Java-like syntax, but the Processing editor seems to indicate that I can add a JavaScript or Python 'mode' as well (not tested). The book itself is very neat, and eases you into working knowledge of Processing through small albeit concrete code examples. A pleasure to work through, and you should be able to finish the book in 4-5 hours if you have some coding experience. Relatively basic, but a great stepping stone to more attractive stuff like Generative Design.
review 2: Processing is a simple computer programming language that lets one use code to create drawings, animation, and interactiv... moree graphics.This book is easy to study, and lets you jump right in to create some fun projects useful in learning computer graphics.The Arduino open source prototyping platform is used to develop the codes. I used that to quickly write a simple program that generated a small image. So this all works! less
