Processing: A Programming Handbook for Visual Designers

Description

It has been more than twenty years since desktop publishing reinvented
design, and it’s clear that there is a growing need for designers and
artists to learn programming skills to fill the widening gap between
their ideas and the capability of their purchased software.

This book is an introduction to the concepts of computer programming within the
context of the visual arts. It offers a comprehensive reference and text
for Processing (www.processing.org), an open-source programming language
that can be used by students, artists, designers, architects,
researchers, and anyone who wants to program images, animation, and
interactivity. The ideas in Processing have been tested in classrooms,
workshops, and arts institutions, including UCLA, Carnegie Mellon, New
York University, and Harvard University. Tutorial units make up the bulk
of the book and introduce the syntax and concepts of software (including
variables, functions, and object-oriented programming), cover such
topics as photography and drawing in relation to software, and feature
many short, prototypical example programs with related images and
explanations. More advanced professional projects from such domains as
animation, performance, and typography are discussed in interviews with
their creators. “Extensions” present concise introductions to further
areas of investigation, including computer vision, sound, and
electronics. Appendixes, references to other material, and a glossary
contain additional technical details. Processing can be used by reading
each unit in order, or by following each category from the beginning of
the book to the end. The Processing software and all of the code
presented can be downloaded and run for future exploration. With essays
by: Alexander R. Galloway, Golan Levin, R. Luke DuBois, Simon Greenwold,
Francis Li, and Hernando Barragán and interviews with Jared Tarbell,
Martin Wattenberg, James Paterson, Erik van Blockland, Ed Burton, Josh
On, Jürg Lehni, Auriea Harvey and Michaël Samyn, Mathew Cullen and Grady
Hall, Bob Sabiston, Jennifer Steinkamp, Ruth Jarman and Joseph Gerhardt,
Sue Costabile, Chris Csikszentmihályi, Golan Levin and Zachary
Lieberman, and Mark Hansen.
