(18people)- I'm a semi-experienced programmer who is new to visual arts. I thought that this book might have been too basic for my needs, but I'm having a blast going through it. The examples are lively, but without that "golly, aren't we having fun!?" tone that I find in other beginner programming books. Even though some examples are very basic, I appreciate the care with which the author writes them. I can still remember being a beginner, and I see that he can too.

>Leafing through the future chapters, I think "Wow, I'm going to be able to do that in a few days. Sweet!!". - This is an awesome book presenting the Proce55ing language in a very digestible, approachable format. The examples are all online for download and this book is a great learning resource.
- If you want to find a book to begin learning Processing programming language, this book is a excellent choice! The book will guide you step by step from very simple examples to complicated concepts in learning OOP. It can also be a ideal textbook for anyone who would like to learn programming.
- Esse livro é definitivamente um MUST HAVE!!!, nunca estudei Java...mais estou me dando mto bem com o livro...VERY DIDATIC! Muito didatico!
<
>Simple Language! read and read again...very easy to understand, and soo much exemples! and lessons include too! <
>MUST HAVE ! <
>Obrigada Daniel Schiffman! <
>Thank you Daniel Schiffman! - I am a college professor at a small California Community College. I stumbled onto processing about three years ago, just when I was designing a new 'first course' in programming. I decided at the time to go with an existing textbook which used Java as a first language. I was not happy with the results.
<
> <
>When I got a look at the Shiffman text, I got excited about processing again. I used other material to supplement in areas such as number systems, Von Newmann architecture, and the rest. I introduced Processing about 1/3 of the way through the class and students picked it up very quickly using the text. We went through about 11 chapters in about 8 weeks, and students developed quite a few cool interactive and graphical apps with loops, conditionals, arrays, File I/O and even a few objects! And the best part is that they enjoyed it! <
> <
>I gave students a 'Course Feedback Survey' at the end where they rated aspects on a scale of 1-10 (1 = strongly disagree, 10 = totally agree). They gave the question "The textbook did a great job of explaining the material" an average of 9 out of 10. <
> <
>I am adapting the course to teach it fully-online next Fall, and I'm excited about using the Shiffman text again. I was able to contact the author who provided additional support for me to work up some decent PPT slides to use for the class. <
> <
>The book goes well beyond what I am using it for, and introduces quite a few topics that I have not reviewed or used (yet). It has a good index, is sprinkled with graphic diagrams, and has excellent supplements online (example code and such). <
> <
>I am also expecting great things from the students that used this book in their next programming class (standard CS1 with Java). I might even use some of the more advanced examples for my CS1 class too! <
> <
>Congrats Daniel on a job well done!
