Introduction to Programming in the Processing Language (13 Jan 2010)
Remember: don't panic. If you get stuck somewhere while you are trying to work through the stuff below, just make a note of what went wrong and try to figure out why it happened. If you get an error message, try putting quotes around it and submitting it to Google. We will go over the basics again in class, and this stuff will soon seem like old hat.
