Tutorial chapters make up the bulk of the book;advanced professional projects from such domains as animation, performance, and installation arediscussed in interviews with their creators.This second edition has beenthoroughly updated. It is the first book to offer in-depth coverage of Processing 2.0, and allexamples have been updated for 2.0 syntax.

New "synthesis" chapters offerdiscussion and worked examples of such topics as sketching with code, modularity, and algorithm. Newinterviews have been added that cover a wider range of projects.
