I bought the book over the weekend only because I couldn’t find the book I actually wanted (Processing: A Programming Handbook for Visual Designers and Artists). I was a little skeptical since this is designed to assessable as a “Welcome to programming” book. In fact, I simply bought it because it had a few of the topics I was interested in in the later chapters. That said, I’ve been more than impressed. I’m a self taught programmer and this book would easily lessened my early pains.
One of the coolest things is that this book brings in the classic “Hello World” example but not until latter half of the book when you are discussing photo manipulation. This book has convinced me that Processing is a great little language and I’m going to start building some functions to replace my R, SAS, Excel functions.

This is an awesome book presenting the Proce55ing language in a very digestible, approachable format. The examples are all online for download and this book is a great learning resource.

This is a perfect place to start for learning how to program with Processing. The methodology is very well thought out in a progressive series of steps, allowing one to build upon, complexify and extend previous examples in the book. It also allows one to grasp general programming principles applicable to other environments. It would be great to see this book translated into French one day!

I’m a semi-experienced programmer who is new to visual arts. I thought that this book might have been too basic for my needs, but I’m having a blast going through it. The examples are lively, but without that “golly, aren’t we having fun!?” tone that I find in other beginner programming books. Even though some examples are very basic, I appreciate the care with which the author writes them. I can still remember being a beginner, and I see that he can too.
Leafing through the future chapters, I think “Wow, I’m going to be able to do that in a few days. Sweet!!”.
