I know most of y'all here are professionals but I'm a beginner to programming and I'm looking for a good textbook to learn from. The problem is, almost all of the textbooks I've seen are based on Processing v1. Is this a big fault? An alternative is that Mr. Greenberg has a Processing 2 coming out in a few months and I could do my best to learn from Processing.org's tutorials and other sources online until it comes out. Basically, I'd like to hear y'alls thoughts.
These are the top two books I'm looking at right now:
Processing: Creative Coding and Computational Art by Ira Greenberg and
Generative Art by Matt Pearson,
