I am an artist/computer programmer but new to Processing and currently using Processing(Python mode). Have created various samples of visuals, moving image and sound.
I am using the following set of online reference material which I find very useful:
- [py.processing.org](http://py.processing.org) (reference, tutorials and examples)
- [https://docs.python.org/2/tutorial/](https://docs.python.org/2/tutorial/)
(version 2.7, assuming this is the right version for my Processing(3.5.3) Python mode)
Just wondering if you can recommend other online material on Processing(Python mode) that I could add to the above reference list… as I continue to build more techniques gradually…
Much thanks for any info/tips/advice.

It’s a work in progress, but seven ‘chapters’ in already:

I’ve also been looking and couldn’t find quite what I needed for my students – so I’ve started writing an online textbook: [https://tabreturn.github.io/#processing-reverse](https://tabreturn.github.io/#processing-reverse) I know there’s “Getting Started with Processing.py”, but this is something more like Ira Greenberg’s book (except in Python). In other words, more general programming and computer science concepts rolled into a visually-oriented, creative p…

You may already have checked out Allison Parrish’s book, but it is a highly recommended “getting started”

I should really try and document better the stuff I use in my classes…
I throw some snipets at [https://github.com/villares/py.processing-play](https://github.com/villares/py.processing-play) (and on other messy github repos)
