Introduction to Programming Using Processing, Third Edition

By Mark Meysenburg

Book Overview

Written in an informal, conversational, and humorous style, the second edition of Introduction to Programming Using Processing makes learning programming a fun experience. It is almost certainly the only programming textbook in the world with references to Jurassic Park, NCIS, Chuck Norris, and Gamera! The freely-available Processing language is ideal for a first course in programming. The simple-to-access graphics and multimedia capabilities of the language let students develop eye-catching, animated programs, instead of traditional programs that print text to the console. User interaction features let students connect with their programs in a manner that they're used to. Processing runs on all the major computing platforms, and can create "clickable" applications, in addition to Web-ready applets. Plus, the language's Java heritage carries over into later programming courses with little fuss. Resources related to the text are available at http: //programminginprocessing.com
