Also the foundation C knowledge in the book create a confortable link to a well known programming language. Thus making it clear that processing is a 'real' programming language, built nicely and incorporating the foundation from the 'real' programming language like C . It's interesting that after may years of working in the computer field, learning php (but never completely) css, javascript... ~ hacking more than programming really (I've always stop my learning before array and classes), it's trough processing that I really start to learn programming, using your book! Looking forward for you new book too ! thanks The programming interactivity book is really interesting – I am reading it at the same time as your book ‘learning processing’ ;)

Keep The Nature of Code book coming I'll definitely add that to my Processing library! Your first chapter has been a wonderful introduction into a somewhat bewildering topic for me. Thanks a million!
