Make: Getting Started with Processing, 2nd Edition - Print

This text by the co-founders of the Processing Project updates their 2010 book with new material on graphics manipulation for the latest version of Processing, a simple language that lets you use code to create drawings, animation, and interactive graphics. Learn how to sketch with code by creating a program with one line of code, observing the result, and then adding to it. If you're an artist looking to develop interactive graphics programs or a programmer on your way to becoming an artist and want to work with software and systems, this book is essential.   Meet the Authors Casey Reas Casey Reas is a professor in the Department of Design Media Arts at UCLA and a graduate of the MIT Media Laboratory.
