Ever heard of it? I'm going to try and learn it and I was wondering if anyone has even heard of this.

EDIT - Upon closer examination, this is going to be a *****.

Re: Processing

I only had a chance to skim it for a moment. So far I don't see anything unique about it that I can't already do with other languages. However, that may not be fair for me to say because I've been programming for some time. (I'm a fan of Ruby, C++ and C#).

Re: Processing

I just like it for the pure aesthetics of the whole thing, I've seen some beautiful artwork made with it and I'd like to give it a try myself. For a good example check this guys stuff out: http://www.flight404.com/blog/?p=75

Re: Processing

That's pretty neat. Let me know what you think of the syntax and everything once you get started.

Re: Processing

Trust me, it's going to be a little while before I get this down. The only coding I know prior to this is limited Java, HTML, and CSS which I've picked up from running message boards. This is going be a *****, as I said.

Just buy a book if there is one, and study up. Learning a programming language is fun. (I mean it sincerely).

Re: Processing

I wish I had the wherewithall and motivation to learn one myself.

I know some HTML, Basic(prehistoric huh?), and VB, nothing really past that, but it was fun learning all that stuff, and its a real awesome feeling of accomplishment when you do finally finish something incorporating something you learned during the creation process.
