Processing 2.0 Book ... Coming Summer 2012

In 2005 I spoke with friends of ED about writing an ActioniScript book on Creative Coding. They asked for other ideas, and I mentioned Processing. Truth was I didn't know much about Processing in 2005. I worked almost exclusively with AS3 and Java. I had downloaded Processing, but that's about it. I told friends of ED I would do the Processing book. What the hell!

Two years later Processing: Creative Coding and Computational Art came out. During the two years writing the book, I grew quite fond of Processing and began using it extnesivley for my work.

3 years later my 2nd Processing book came out Processing for Flash Developers. Again, the this was not the book I initially wanted to write. I wanted to write an advanced Processing book, in the tradition of the Flash Math Creativity Books (I still think this book would kick serious butt Unfortunatley, when the 2nd book came out, iPhone mania struck and with it Apple's rejection of Flash. (This sucked!)

Book 3 is on the way. This book covers Processing 2.0 and will be strcutured to supprot the CS 1 classroom.
