Started as a course III, but was always “sneeking off and programming” when my job allowed self directed workscope.

Wrote a 3D fly-thru openGL C++ app for all 100K wires in an IBM mainframe.

Wanted to do web stuff so wrote [http://www.webgltutorials.appspot.com/WebGLTutorial06](http://www.webgltutorials.appspot.com/WebGLTutorial06) in java and javascript with full homebrew GL\_Shaders.

Spent 5 years as a big data consultant, Hadoop with hard core MapReduce in java, Hive, switched to scala for 3 years of Spark ETL. Wrote two frameworks: 1) The “Knowledgent Ingestion Framework” using scoop to pull legacy RDBMS to Hive, and 2) a swarm: Scala spawned external Spark processes parallelizing DAG threads. See hadoop-less spark on AWS EC2’s with S3 as the way to go for heavy duty processing.

Think processing hits the sweet spot on  
GUI,  
adaptability,  
community,  
platform access,  
extend-ability.

Intend to use it as my base of operations (for instance… no need for swing)

Hi all, my name is Jakub Valtar. I’m a software developer and an artist. I studied computer graphics and, after Processing lured me down the path of digital art, I continued to study art & technology master program, from which I graduated this year.

I started contributing to Processing in 2014 and over the years I submitted lots of pull requests, mostly improving rendering quality and performance, but also fixes and enhancements to the preprocessor, error checker and editor.

I will be around helping with difficult code problems.

Hi. I’m Owen Densmore and and first started using Processing 15 or so years ago, using it for simulations for SimTable/Redfish, a small modeling company here in Santa Fe NM.

I’m currently working on AgentScript, a subset of NetLogo (agent based modeling) in JavaScript. It is written in two halfs, a core Model and a View/App used to make the Model visible. Currently we’re using Three.js for the view/app: [http://backspaces.github.io/as-app3d/models/?water](http://backspaces.github.io/as-app3d/models/?water) although we’ve also integrated models [into an Observable View.](https://beta.observablehq.com/@backspaces/agentscript-firemodel-d3-view)

My interest in Processing is potential use of P5js for Views/Apps (views are less tightly integrated into the core than apps). I’m looking at two uses: as a core webgl library, and as a more integrated tool/app for p5js modelers.

I’d love to talk to any of us using Processing for agent based modeling!

Hello, I’m Raymond G McCord. I’m an artist, interactive developer, and educator. I develop virtual reality training software and augmented reality marketing applications at [Self Interactive](https://selfinteractive.com) and I am also an instructor at [Missouri State University](http://https:/www.missouristate.edu) in the media, journalism, and film department as well as the art & design department teaching Interactive Art & Media.

I learned to code using Processing when I was an undergrad, and now enjoy passing that knowledge on to new heads teaching with p5.js.

Some of my work is documented [here.](https://www.warpthesurface.com/)

Hello everyone!

I am Giovanni, a visual artist based in Amsterdam! I started using Processing in 2009, when I started New Media Arts University. I use it for live visual performances and generative arts, as well as for interactive installations. I work in a lab, in which we work in the intersection between art, science and technology.

I used to teach it (together with p5.js) in workshops in the Academy of Fine Arts (in Italy), focusing more on the process then the technicalities, but then I stopped. I hope to recover my wishing to share my knowledge, and to grow and help the community here!

You can find my works [here](https://kesson.io) (the website will be updated soon!)!

Several years ago, we adopted Processing for our “Introduction to Programming” courses at the college (replacing VB and providing a much better path to our follow-on courses, which are based on Java).

So far, it has been very successful (despite having a silly gerund for its name), and i look forward to further improvements (such as allowing input strings from stdin!).

Hi, I’m Sarah. I meant to write this a while ago, but never actually got to it. 😑

I started learning Processing around 2015 when I wandered upon the website, and learnt a lot from [The Coding Train](https://www.youtube.com/user/shiffman/featured). I’m currently learning node.js and javascript right now.

I love using Processing and p5.js as a hobby to make art or games. 🙂

Hi, I’m Jim. I use Processing for school and for fun as well 😌

I don’t have much to say about myself except that I’m amazed by how helpful everyone has been and I think that it’s a wonderful community to be in. 👍

Thanks everyone and look forward to the future… 🧙

Hello,

I am Lumppa from Finland. I am a hobbyist coder. It has been years since I wrote any code. The [Processing.org](http://Processing.org) has made me wanna code again! Joined the forum to find out more.
