Introducing a new friend – Processing

Processing is an open source programming language and Integrated Development Environment (IDE) for people who want to create images, animations, and interaction.

This major open source project was initiated in 2001 by Ben Fry and Casey Reas, two gurus and former students of John Maeda at the Aesthetics and Computation Group at the MIT Media Lab.

It is a programming framework most used by non-programmers. Indeed, it has been designed primarily for this purpose. One of the first targets of Processing is to provide an easy way of programming for non-programmers through the instant gratification of visual feedback. Indeed, as we know, programming can be very abstract. Processing natively provides a canvas on which we can draw, write, and do more. It also provides a very user-friendly IDE that we are going to see on the official website at http://processing.org.

You'll probably also find the term Processing written as Proce55ing as the domain name processing...
