This seems like a good bet:

http://processing.org/learning/gettingstarted/

and then play around, try things like

void draw(){
 if(mousePressed) line(pmouseX,pmouseY,mouseX,mouseY);
}

I'm also just starting out on processing, but I do already have some minimal programming experience.  The getting started guide is good, but kind of limited.  Are there any other places that have tutorials, instructions, help materials, etc.?  It does't really help to just study other people's code if you have no idea what commands are available and how the syntax should work....

See Language reference for the list of commands.
Syntax: that's the Java syntax...
