The creative programming sketchbook Processing is out of Beta and version 1.0 has been released. Looking forward to getting stuck into this package as its development has been mightily impressive. For the uninitiated:
"Processing is a programming language, development environment, and online community that since 2001 has promoted software literacy within the visual arts. Initially created to serve as a software sketchbook and to teach fundamentals of computer programming within a visual context, Processing quickly developed into a tool for creating finished professional work as well."
I've heard that Processing integrates very nicely with audio packages so one could develop an audio engine in SuperCollider and then do a funky front end in Processing. Music technology students can expect to be seeing these packages in future modules!
