Ben Fry & Casey Reas - Eyeo Festival 2011 on Vimeo

Administrator

For folks who've lost track of Processing and where its going, this is a wonderful talk at the Eyeo Festival 2011.

http://vimeo.com/28117873

It has both Ben Fry and Casey Reas talking about the history, current state and future of Processing, and will show you Processing running on laptops, phones, and browsers.

I could go into new tech and old fixes galore: Javascript, Android, WebGL, Canvas, GStreamer, refactoring, performance, ... but I won't.

But far, far more important, it will show you how alive and vibrant the project is and how it is migrating into fascinating usage .. across 8 screens, on buildings, and taking over classrooms for both teaching engineers how to create and artists how to hack.

Don't view this, it is bad for you.

I keep hearing about Processing and have never had the time to try it out. The frustrating thing is that there are so many interesting technologies there just isn't time to look at them all.

Processing is a special case, sort of a two stage trial is available.

If you have a browser which runs Java applets, then you can go to http://processing.org/exhibition/ and browse through a 13 page gallery of projects implemented with processing.

If you find some interesting stuff, and the time to explore further, then download the processing IDE and start playing with it.

The basic problem with the IDE, in all incarnations that I've used, is that it's still a first year student's Java application despite being years and years in development. That doesn't prevent it from being used, but I find it endlessly annoying.
