Synopsis

Processing: Creative Coding and Generative Art in Processing 2 is a fun and creative approach to learning programming. Using the easy to learn Processing programming language, you will quickly learn how to draw with code, and from there move to animating in 2D and 3D. These basics will then open up a whole world of graphics and computer entertainment to you. You will learn how to develop interactive games, build web-based content, create beautiful visualizations, and even code Android mobile applications. Processing 2.0 is the latest release of the open-source Processing language, and includes exciting new features, such as OpenGL 2 support for enhanced 3D graphics performance, improved Android support for easily creating Android apps from your Processing code, and a JavaScript mode for rapid browser-based prototyping. Processing: Creative Coding and Generative Art in Processing 2 is designed for independent learning and also as a primary text for an introductory computing class. The book includes hands-on creative coding projects, as well as end of chapter summaries and problem sets. Based on research funded by the National Science Foundation, this book brings together some of the most engaging and successful approaches from the digital arts and computer science classrooms. * Teaches you how to program using a fun and creative approach. * Covers the latest release of the Processing 2.0 language. * Presents a research based approach to learning computing. What you'll learn * Generate algorithmic art. * Learn the latest features of Processing 2.0. * Code 2D and 3D interactive animations. * Create a visualization based on big data. * Program a web-based game. * Develop an Android mobile app. Who this book is for Processing: Creative Coding and Generative Art in Processing 2 is for anyone who wants to learn how to program, really anyone!
