I strongly recommend this book. Well written with complete code, a strong tour of Processing and its wider ecosystem. The only caveat I would add is that if you have any programming/computer science background, a lot of this will be non-applicable to you and you'll skim through about 60% of the book to pick up the Processing-specific syntax.
I'm using this book in my Intro to Computer Science class, and it is awesome!! My kids love the interactivity of the lessons and the accessibility of the code. Thank you, Dan for this book! It's the best one out there for beginner programmers!
An excellent hands-on guide to learning processing. And a great compliment to the book by Ben Fry and Casey Reas. I learned a ton from this book, and from Daniel Shiffman's companion videos on YouTube. Highly recommend that you buy this right now.
Better than ever. This book and Shiffman's "The Nature of Code" are the gateways for non-coders to create beautiful work, or just gain an appreciation for the beauties of programming.
I enjoyed this book. Well written, provides a great set of tool to start discovering and appreciating processing. Go for it.
great book. I'm using right now fro class. i got it at a great price and the chapters are short effective and easy to understand.
Great introduction to Processing and a great learning tool.
