Book Reviews of Processing: A Programming Handbook for Visual Designers and Artists

Book Review: Can be used as an introduction to programming for anyone
Summary: 5 Stars

I've been using Processing (and the systems based on Processing such as Mobile Processing and Arduino) for some time now, and find them a great introduction to programming in general.

This book is beautifully presented and very well written. The introductory chapters are a great way of starting to learn programming and I'm proposing to use the ideas in them as an introduction to programming for my students.

Together with Ben Fry's Visualizing Data these are brilliant way to get people programming (with Processing).
