I recently had the true pleasure of spending a weekend with the creators of Processing, Casey Reas and Ben Fry, at Miami University. Ira Greenberg, the author of Processing: Creative Coding and Computational Art and newly minted shepherd of Processing hacks, organized the weekend and I am extremely grateful for being invited to tag along. I focused mostly on putting together a set of tutorials for the Processing web site, some adapted from my new book Learning Processing. The hope is to really flesh this section of the site out so if anyone has a tutorial they’d like to contribute, please feel free to write. We’ll be doing this again a few more times this year (perhaps even having a session at ITP!). I’m looking forward to many more wacky Processing adventures.

Miami University is generously funding a series of Processing development workshops. The first workshop took place from 18 to 21 September. Ben Fry, Dan Shiffman, Ira Greenberg, and myself worked together to improve the examples, start a series of tutorials, and work through some conceptual issues related to adding a new PShape class. Additional topics included the future of Processing’s libraries and other implementations of Processing (C++, Ruby, Python, etc.) Ira Greenberg, an associate professor at Miami and author of “Processing: Creative Coding and Computational Art”, got this started and we’re very grateful for the support of the Interactive Media Studies (IMS) program, directed by Glenn Platt. The next Oxford Project will take place from 20 to 23 November.
