Processing

Processing 是一門用來生成圖片， 動畫和 交互軟體的編程語言。它的思想是簡單地寫一行代碼，就會在螢幕上生成一個圓。再增加一些行代碼，圓便會跟著滑鼠走。再增加一些行代碼，圓便會隨著滑鼠的點擊而改變顏色。我們把稱為用代碼作草稿（Sketching)。 如果你玩過蘋果手機或Java 平臺手機裏的遊戲，或者看過上海世博會裏生動有趣的互動媒體作品，就會知道編程不僅僅是電腦技術，它也是可以是一件藝術作品。 官方網址：http://processing.org/

 

Processing is an open source programming language and environment for people who want to create images, animations, and interactions. Initially developed to serve as a software sketchbook and to teach fundamentals of computer programming within a visual context, Processing also has evolved into a tool for generating finished professional work. Today, there are tens of thousands of students, artists, designers, researchers, and hobbyists who use Processing for learning, prototyping, and production.
