Introduction to Processing

Instructor Name: Krister Olsson

Schedule: Sundays from 4-7pm. April 24, May 1, 8, 15

Course Description: Processing is a programming language and environment built for the media arts and design communities. It is created to teach fundamentals of computer programming within a visual context and to serve as a software sketchbook. It is used by students, artists, designers, architects, and researchers for learning, prototyping, and production. More information on Processing can be found at www.processing.org
