Product Description
Product Description
Learn computer programming the easy way with Processing, a simple language that lets you use code to create drawings, animation, and interactive graphics. Programming courses usually start with theory, but this book lets you jump right into creative and fun projects. It's ideal for anyone who wants to learn basic programming, and serves as a simple introduction to graphics for people with some programming skills.
Written by the founders of Processing, this book takes you through the learning process one step at a time to help you grasp core programming concepts. You'll learn how to sketch with code -- creating a program with one a line of code, observing the result, and then adding to it. Join the thousands of hobbyists, students, and professionals who have discovered this free and educational community platform.
- Quickly learn programming basics, from variables to objects
- Understand the fundamentals of computer graphics
- Get acquainted with the Processing software development environment
- Create interactive graphics with easy-to-follow projects
- Use the Arduino open source prototyping platform to control your Processing graphics

Customer Reviews
The book covers a good introduction to the Processing platform and programming in general which is useful as Processing is gains lot of appeal for what is possible with it rather than just a programming exercise... ie from non-programmers (such as myself).
While areas of interactive graphics are covered in depth, it would only serve as a basic introduction for the area of linking an Arduino to a PC, which is my particular area of interest thus leaving me requiring something of more depth.
Perhaps I need to invest a little more time but from working through the examples I'm left feeling frustrated when transferring the principles to what I want to do. Don't necessarily let you put this off, you might find a different experience, like I said I have a particular interest in Processing.
