I'm a senior Math and Art dual-major at Carnegie Mellon in Pittsburgh.  I work in the Computer Integrated Engineering lab here coding OpenGL, and I teach an intro class on C.  I hope to pursue a career scripting for computer animation.

I like processing because it's a simple yet rich sandbox to test ideas.

My name is Cyril Moumen, I am a freelance graphic designer working in London for the past 6 years.
While surfing I discovered Processing a couple of days ago and have been really chocked as the possibility of this app, web, print and interactivity.
I am not that use to programing even if I am doing some html, and a bit of Java.
Thank you for putting out this app and hopefully I will get my teeth into it and maybe contribute to it all one day...

Best,

C

I'm Joao Mesquita, i'm 27 and i'm a multimedia programmer - mainly lingo  (thank you, jt!) - and i have a degree on communication sciences - audiovisuals and interactive media - by the new university of Lisbon, Portugal.

I discovered processing a couple of months as a open-source alternative to director and as potential platform for developing applications for web - for some unknown reason i can´t stand flash - and for mobile platforms. So far, i´m studing it and i´m willing to do the switch.

besides this, i do game design as a hobby - hope to get a master on the subject some day.

Hi there,

I'm Norm and my educational background is Biology (@UCSB) and Bioinformatics (@NEU), with working experience in programming, machine learning, and UI design. I'm a recent grad currently working at Biogen Idec in San Diego.  My previous positions include working on ambulances, programming consultant, to various research projects in cheminformatics, bioinformatics/computational biology departments.

I stumbled upon Processing via the US zip-code visualization a couple month back.  Then I was inspired by the awesome visualizations of genome data produced by Ben Fry.

Thank you for creating this great tool!  I hope I will be able to utilize it to make new discoveries in the heaps of chemical/structural/genomic/proteomic data, and to use that knowledge to make better therapeutics for Cancer and age related illnesses.

Hello,

I'm Fergus (mostly 'Oolong' online, where pseudonymy rules), and I'm pretty new to Processing, although I've been programming animated graphics for around a decade, and waiting for something like Processing for a stupidly long time.

I started programming on a ZX Spectrum, which for all its technical limitations was beautifully designed to help and encourage kids to learn about programming - and maths, and logic. I later got a PC, installed Autodesk Animator Pro and started making animations in its built-in C dialect, Poco - which is really a lot like Processing in a lot of ways, a wonderful but neglected thing. Still later, I started playing around with Java, excited by its possibilities but sometimes frustrated or irritated by the often-unnecessary complexity of getting anything done.

I'm still working with standard Java, but I'm delighted to have started experimenting with Processing; the educational and artistic potential of this thing is tremendous, and I'm looking forward to beginning to tap into it.

My web site is at www.oolong.co.uk - very likely my existing Java toys and other mathematical graphics will be of interest to lots of people who are into Processing (and perhaps you'll also get something out of my writing, photography and sculpture)

Anyway... pleased to meet you-all!

I am Mary Ann from NYC.  I'm a grad student (doing an MS in Digital Media) and new media artist (which is a recent development - previously I was working in traditional media and analog photography). My current technical interests are mathematical visualizations, 3D game environments, and digital video. Otherwise, I'm interested in interactive/nonlinear storytelling, critical theory, identity and performativity, art history, and whatever else I happen to be reading.

I recently finished a BS in computer science, and was introduced to Processing by a friend of mine about a month ago. It's been a great tool for me to connect my programming background and art. (I'm most comfortable with C++, although I've dabbled in Java, BASIC (the 80's version, not VB), Intel Assembler, Scheme and a few other languages. I'm running OS X 10.4 on a shiny new G5 iMac and a 12" powerbook from a couple years ago.  

My first finished Processing piece can be found online here: http://pir2.org/corral/

Hi I'm Kelvin from Malaysia currently in my final year of studies. I'm majoring in digital media under the streaming of interactive installation art the other streams available under my major is game design and interactive infographics. I am currently developing a webcam based kinetic art and I need some guidance. I have no knowledge in processing at all. I have intermediate knowledge in actiosncript 1.0 and 2.0 though. so how do i get started?
You can add me in msn / yahoo anytime.

My name is Jaime Cervantes. I am a second year student of aerospace engineering at the University of Texas at Austin. I use Processing mainly to learn programming of visualizations and Java at the same time. I am also interested in graphic design.
