"[This] new book directly targets the CS classroom in a way that no other Processing book does….[The authors] present a much less reactionary approach integrating many of the wonderful things about Processing with traditional approaches that have worked well in CS pedagogy. Not only is their approach sensible and efficient, it’s also likely to offer greater comfort to existing CS instructors (who perhaps don’t have degrees in theater or painting.) It is this effort of considerate integration-of the old tried and true and new and improved-that I believe has the greatest chance of tipping the balance for Processing’s use in the computing classroom."
