Getting Started with Processing Book Review Processing is a
simple object oriented language well suited for cross-platform
graphic manipulation and data visualization. The development
environment is identical to the Arduino IDE, which bases its own
language on Processing's syntax. Does the book, written by the
designers of Processing, successfully encourage readers to
pursue the language further? Read on to find out.The authors
explain in the book's Preface why they created Processing to pay
homage to their childhood introduction to programming using
BASIC and Logo. They were also heavily influenced by John
Maeda's Design By Numbers (DBN) language. Understanding these
origins helps experienced readers realize the constructs and
syntax used in Processing. Additionally, there has been a
heightened awareness of the Processing language due to the
prevalence of Arduino programming. Thus, for those who have
already developed Arduino applications upon whose language is
based on Processing, learning Processing is a s
