Hello,

Start here:

> Processing is a flexible software sketchbook and a language for learning how to code. Since 2001, Processing has promoted software literacy within the visual arts and visual literacy within technology…

I found this useful once I was comfortable with Processing:  
[https://natureofcode.com](https://natureofcode.com)

This inspired me when I was younger (and still does!) and available now for everyone:

See examples available with Processing:

This was a project I started with an object file:

> [@Yaw, pitch and roll!](https://discourse.processing.org/t/yaw-pitch-and-roll/13591):

> Working on a project: Particle systems were adapted from: [https://processing.org/examples/simpleparticlesystem.html](https://processing.org/examples/simpleparticlesystem.html) Model from here: [http://3dmag.org/en/market/](http://3dmag.org/en/market/) Processing: [https://processing.org/](https://processing.org/)slight_smile

Work through examples and start thinking about what you can do with the palette of tools that Processing offers!

Its math, programming, inspiration, and creativity combined.  
A worthy pursuit.

Some “rough cuts” of projects I posted on YouTube:
