Format:Paperback
I've struggled with learning programming (usually through actionscript) for a while now each time falling at the stage where all of the parts came together.
This is the best book I have found (and I've read plenty) to explain the core concepts and structures of programming.
It's well written and benefits from an author obviously aware of which concepts students struggle with which he takes the time to explain in very straightforward ways.
If you follow the exercises (which allow you to create interesting things anyhow) you'll really get the benefit and begin to think in a different way.
If you're looking to get into processing or wish to understand the core concepts behind object orientated language I highly recommend this book.

Learning Processing: A Beginner's Guide to Programming Images, Animation, and Interaction
23 Feb 2010
Format:Paperback
This is a great book for anyone wishing to begin learning computer programming or for someone moving from another language to Processing. It is written in a coarse book style that can be read on one's own or as class material. Every chapter has explanations, examples and exercises that progress in an incremental manner starting with the basics and working up from there. It moves along at a steady pace with interesting and useful examples. It encourages the reader to develop an excellent methodology for developing computer programs. The only criticism I have is that with some of the exercises it is difficult to figure out what exactly is required and on a number of occasions I had to check out the answers on the website for the book to understand the exercise. Overall a great book and I highly recommend it.

This book is an excellent one to get you started with Processing.
Although I have quite an experience with programming, I strongly believe it is an excellent book to get a newbie started. Lots of very helpful sample code and excellent support at book's website.
Furthermore, writer was available to discuss and answer delicate/advanced questions and references.
