Learning Processing

I’m learning Processing, a programming language for artists. Extremely cool!
The goal is to build things cooler than the following ones:


Metamorphosis from Glenn Marshall on Vimeo.


Solar, with lyrics. from flight404 on Vimeo.


Mæve table demo from Maeve installation on Vimeo.

Processing has a great infrastructure with hardware too (http://hardware.processing.org/) but I haven’t started digging into it yet.

Learning a language in a hacking group is a lot more fun so if you are around Trento and you want to join us, please let me know! This is going to be awesome!
