TUTORIAL

Processing

The Processing website hosts a set of extended examples and a complete reference for the language. Typical Web applications such as bulletin boards host discussions about features, bugs, and related events. To date,the reference has been translated into Chinese, Korean, Japanese, and Indonesian. French and Spanish translations should be completed by Summer 2004.

The fact that Processing programs can be simply exported to the Web supports the creation of a global educational community and provides motivation for learning. Because designers thrive on sharing their work, talented practitioners and students have been rapidly learning, publishing, and inspiring others. People are encouraged to expose their source code the same way the "view source" function in web browsers encouraged the rapid expansion of the Web, access to other peoples' Processing source code enables members of the community to learn from each other and the skills of community raise as a unit.
