About this Item

Paperback. Written in an informal, conversational, and humorous style, Introduction to Programming Using Processing makes learning programming a fun experience. It is almost certainly the only programming textbook in the world with references to Jurassic Park, NCIS, Chuck Norris, and Gamera! The freely-available Processing language is ideal for a first course in programming. The simple-to-access graphics and multimedia capabilities of the language let students develop eye-catching, animated programs, instead of traditional programs that print text to the console. Introduction to Programming Using Processing takes a "classes-later" approach, focusing on basics, using objects, selection, iteration, top-down design, and arrays, before writing classes. Every example is presented in the context of the RADIS (Requirements / Analyze / Design / Implement / Support) framework, with considerable attention paid to design. Other positive habits, like good commenting practice and coding style, are emphasized as well. Shipping may be from our Sydney, NSW warehouse or from our UK or US warehouse, depending on stock availability.
