Ebook: Learning Processing: A Beginner's Guide to Programming Images, Animation, and Interaction (Morgan Kaufmann Series in Computer Graphics)

I'm a semi-experienced programmer who is new to visual arts. I thought that this book might have been too basic for my needs, but I'm having a blast going through it. The examples are lively, but without that "golly, aren't we having fun!?" tone that I find in other beginner programming books. Even though some examples are very basic, I appreciate the care with which the author writes them. I can still remember being a beginner, and I see that he can too. Leafing through the future chapters, I think "Wow, I'm going to be able to do that in a few days. Sweet!!".
