How do I do google searches for Processing?
Jul 30th, 2008, 1:40am  
Sounds like a dumb question right?

Every time I want to look for code examples that use the "Processing" language, I can never narrow down my google search properly since so many pieces of code already contain the word "processing" with regards to something else in a similar context.

Why did they not give the language a unique name or at least something not directly related to computers?

It's like naming a band  "Record" and then trying to do searches for them.  Tongue


The same goes for the language "Wiring". Fortunately I can just search Arduino resources (a group that was wise enough to come up with a unique name)

Maybe I am missing an obvious solution to this problem. If so, please enlighten me! It will help me out a lot Smiley

Try "processing.org" cause this is often used for tagging blogposts, images or videos.

"built with processing" is good at finding sketches online.

Yes, although the name is great and reflects accurately what it does, taking a common name in the computer field is a poor choice for a programming language... Tongue

Beside the above suggestions, you might also want to search for P5 or Proce55ing, old way of naming our favorite visualization system, probably for the above reasons...

At least it isn't as bad as trying to search for ".NET"... Wink
