It has been more than twenty years since desktop publishing reinvented

design, and it's clear that there is a growing need for designers and

artists to learn programming skills to fill the widening gap between

their ideas and the capability of their purchased software. This book is

an introduction to the concepts of computer programming within the

context of the visual arts. It offers a comprehensive reference and text

for Processing (www.processing.org), an open-source programming language

that can be used by students, artists, designers, architects,

researchers, and anyone who wants to program images, animation, and

interactivity. The ideas in Processing have been tested in classrooms,

workshops, and arts institutions, including UCLA, Carnegie Mellon, New

York University, and Harvard University. Tutorial units make up the bulk

of the book and introduce the syntax and concepts of software (including

variables, functions, and object-oriented programming), cover such

topics as photography and drawing in relation to software, and feature

many short, prototypical example programs with related images and

explanations. More advanced professional projects from such domains as

animation, performance, and typography are discussed in interviews with

their creators. "Extensions" present concise introductions to further

areas of investigation, including computer vision, sound, and

electronics. Appendixes, references to other material, and a glossary

contain additional technical details. Processing can be used by reading

each unit in order, or by following each category from the beginning of

the book to the end. The Processing software and all of the code

presented can be downloaded and run for future exploration. With essays

by: Alexander R. Galloway, Golan Levin, R. Luke DuBois, Simon Greenwold,

Francis Li, and Hernando Barragn and interviews with Jared Tarbell,

Martin Wattenberg, James Paterson, Erik van Blockland, Ed Burton, Josh

On, Jrg Lehni, Auriea Harvey and Michal Samyn, Mathew Cullen and Grady

Hall, Bob Sabiston, Jennifer Steinkamp, Ruth Jarman and Joseph Gerhardt,

Sue Costabile, Chris Csikszentmihlyi, Golan Levin and Zachary

Lieberman, and Mark Hansen.
