Introduction to Processing
"Processing is a context for exploring the emerging
conceptual space enabled by electronic media. It is an environment
for learning the fundamentals of computer programming within the
context of the electronic arts and it is an electronic sketchbook
for developing ideas." [from the Processing
web site]
- Created by Ben Fry & Casey Reas (ex-ACG @ MIT)
- Free software, soon to be Open Source
- Currently in alpha (== bugs do exist)
- Simple to learn, but still powerful
- Text-based programming language
- Simplified Java syntax + prefab code libraries
- Meant to be a tool for sketching & learning
- Processing is a community (sharing of code)
