MACHINE-GENERATED SUMMARY NOTE: "Processing is a richly visual language [...]. It has its roots in a language called Design by Numbers, developed by Professor John Maeda at MIT, and was in fact created by two of Maeda's students, Ben Fry and Casey Reas. Whereas most languages are built to create serious applications, Processing almost seems to have been created to just have fun with. The language has been used to create various data visualization and installation art pieces, but most often you just see people playing with it, creating complex and beautiful pictures and animations. As a matter of fact, you don't even make Processing applications; you make sketches-which go in your sketchbook. This aspect of the language has drawn many creative coders who blur the boundaries between programming and art. [...] Although there are various online resources, Processing has lacked a printed book of any sort. This book fills that gap, and then some. In the tradition of the language, this book covers both the artistic and the programming aspects of Processing. And if you are stronger on the art side than the code side, fear not. The author leads you into it gently, giving you just the bits you need to get started. On the other hand, when you are ready to dive in deep, there's more than enough material to keep you up late at night coding."
