Intro to the Processing Programming Language: simple interactive graphics and animation for everyone
Start programming graphics and animation with Processing (http://www.processing.org), an easy-to-learn, free, open-source programming environment. Processing is great for beginners who are learning to program, and powerful enough for professionals to use as a design tool.

Processing is based on the Java programming language. It is trivial to export your Processing work into a Java applet or application. People can view your work easily through a web browser, on multiple platforms, without having the Processing environment.
This will be a 3-hour, hands-on beginners’ session on programming with Processing. We’ll go over the basics of programming and graphics, working with geometric shapes and images, and controlling animation and movement. We’ll play with a lot of examples and learn to customize and extend them, so bring a computer (Linux, Mac OSX and Windows are all supported), preferably with Java loaded. If you haven’t done much programming before, and/or need help setting up the Processing environment, it might be a good idea to come on time.
