Learning Processing, Second Edition, is a friendly start-up guide to Processing, a free, open-source alternative to expensive software and daunting programming languages. Requiring no previous experience, this book is for the true programming beginner. It teaches the basic building blocks of programming needed to create cutting-edge graphics applications including interactive art, live video processing, and data visualization. Step-by-step examples, thorough explanations, hands-on exercises, and sample code, supports your learning curve.

A unique lab-style manual, the book gives graphic and web designers, artists, and illustrators of all stripes a jumpstart on working with the Processing programming environment by providing instruction on the basic principles of the language, followed by careful explanations of select advanced techniques. The book has been developed with a supportive learning experience at its core. From algorithms and data mining to rendering and debugging, it teaches object-oriented programming from the ground up within the fascinating context of interactive visual media.

This book is ideal for graphic designers and visual artists without programming background who want to learn programming. It will also appeal to students taking college and graduate courses in interactive media or visual computing, and for self-study.

5.0 out of 5 stars Admirable book
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 20 January 2020

All in all, this is an admirable book. One will learn the basic elements of programming (variables, conditionals, loops, functions, objects and arrays) and be able to write programs by the middle of the book (within a couple of weeks at most). The second half of the book covers miscellanea (images, video, sound, text, et cetera), which one may find find useful, but I personally was uninterested in. Shiffman has a tendency to ramble when writing and comes to losing his train of thought every few pages. (He is the same when speaking - see his videos on YouTube). That is, he's not into the whole brevity thing. As such, few chapters drag out. Having said that, his enthusiasm comes through and is encouraging. (Again, see his videos on YouTube.) Overall, this is a book worth supporting, particularly if you want to see more books from this guy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Ottimo libro e bravo daniel
Reviewed in Italy on 24 March 2018

Il libro di Daniel Shiffman soddisfa pienamente le aspettative. È una lettura che consiglio sia a chi principiante si avvicina per la prima volta alla programmazione sia a chi ha già delle conoscenze di base ma ad esempio vuole avvicinarsi alla programmazione object oriented. Nel mio caso le prime 100 pagine scorrono veloci mentre le restanti 300 vanno lette con la dovuta attenzione e soprattutto con un pc vicino per provare le varie idee che ci sono o che uno potrebbe avere . Tutti i capitoli sono spiegati molto bene, gli esempi, mai banali, sono commentati e non ci sono errori di stampa che non è poco. L'inglese é facile. È un libro per cominciare, non copre tutto perché sarebbe stato impossibile, ma é fatto davvero bene e quello che non è nel libro lo si trova sul sito processing.org. Daniel fa anche tanti video su youtube ed é per me un personaggio fantastico a insegnare e mette di buon umore. Comprare questo libro è stato come ringraziarlo dell'energia che ci mette a spiegare le cose. Processing come investimento ad apprendere é ottimo perché ti fa vedere le cose ed é un linguaggio che ti lascia la porta aperta a partire verso mete più impegnative come Javascript o Java.

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant !
Reviewed in the United States on 2 February 2017

This book assumes that you have little, or no, programming experience and wish to learn Processing ... a language which has functions that simplify graphics. If you have written sketches for the Arduino microcontroller, or used C++, then you you will immediately feel at home.

The examples within the book cover all of the building blocks from simple to advanced. Each example is annotated in such a way that new concepts are easy to grasp. Solutions to all of the questions within the book may be accessed from the Help menu within Processing.

In terms of difficulty the first quarter of the book covers the basics ... well worth reading to learn the finer points of the language. The remainder of the book progresses towards advanced. What Processing can achieve is mind boggling.

I have three other books on Processing ... I wish that I had found this book first.
