Do you want to learn to code to write computer programs? Do you like visual design and the arts and want to use the computer as a medium? Would you like to do maker programming for the Arduino platform? Come and learn Processing!
Writing Processing code will be among the first activities of The Nerds (also known as the Marshall Library Computing Club). Processing is a programming language oriented towards the arts; it is an entry-level language for people who have never written a program in their lives.
There is a vast amount of resources for learning and playing with Processing, including libraries specialized for different purposes, software examples that you can edit, code references, and tutorials. It’s possible to do animations, port output to Quicktime movies, run multiple monitors, and do all kinds of other wild and crazy stuff. A computer of your own or access to one is helpful but not required. Bring a laptop if you have one.
Join us on February 6 at 1 p.m. at the library to meet with other like-minded people of all ages. You can help each other figure it out!
John Bickelhaupt, Reference Librarian
