Something is missing in your life. So, you go to a store and buy what you need. You get the flatpacked furniture home, open it up and spread the pieces out on the floor. But there's no instructions. The furniture is you. These are the instructions. You have everything you need. It's there on the floor. Getting it to work together in a way which actually solves the problem you started your day with is a huge challenge. You ask friends. Each of them has a different opinion. You try it their ways. Sometimes you get close. But it's not right. You laugh at your failures. The problem remains. A family member drops by. She knows what you should do. You try that too. That doesn't work either. Which ...
The new edition of an introduction to computer programming within the context of the visual arts, using the open-source programming language Processing; thoroughly updated throughout. The visual arts are rapidly changing as media moves into the web, mobile devices, and architecture. When designers and artists learn the basics of writing software, they develop a new form of literacy that enables them to create new media for the present, and to imagine future media that are beyond the capacities of current software tools. This book introduces this new literacy by teaching computer programming within the context of the visual arts. It offers a comprehensive reference and text for Processing (ww...
Processing opened up the world of programming to artists, designers, educators, and beginners. The Processing.py Python implementation of Processing reinterprets it for today's web. This short book gently introduces the core concepts of computer programming and working with Processing. Written by the co-founders of the Processing project, Reas and Fry, along with co-author Allison Parrish, Getting Started with Processing.py is your fast track to using Python's Processing mode.
Enormous quantities of data go unused or underused today, simply because people can't visualize the quantities and relationships in it. Using a downloadable programming environment developed by the author, Visualizing Data demonstrates methods for representing data accurately on the Web and elsewhere, complete with user interaction, animation, and more. How do the 3.1 billion A, C, G and T letters of the human genome compare to those of a chimp or a mouse? What do the paths that millions of visitors take through a web site look like? With Visualizing Data, you learn how to answer complex questions like these with thoroughly interactive displays. We're not talking about cookie-cutter charts a...

The internet is a rich and huge source of humour - home to some of the most hilarious jokes, photos and stories from around the world. But the fact that anyone and everyone can contribute means it's also full of a lot of dross Luckily, this book has done all the work finding the gems and collects the very best of internet funnies together in one place. Always funny, often shocking, Non PC World is the perfect gift for anyone who enjoys forwarding silly pics (the beach wedding spoilt somewhat by the fat naked bloke in the background, the brilliantly named mobile kebab shop Jason Donervan) and daft stories (the greatest ever break-up letter, the ad placed in the classifieds looking for an assistant time traveller). And of course, no collection of internet humour would be complete without classic 'Chinglish' public notices and wrong answers from game shows (Q: 'what was Ghandi's first name?' A: 'Goosey?').

Make cool stuff. If you're a designer or artist without a lot of programming experience, this book will teach you to work with 2D and 3D graphics, sound, physical interaction, and electronic circuitry to create all sorts of interesting and compelling experiences -- online and off. Programming Interactivity explains programming and electrical engineering basics, and introduces three freely available tools created specifically for artists and designers: Processing, a Java-based programming language and environment for building projects on the desktop, Web, or mobile phones Arduino, a system that integrates a microcomputer prototyping board, IDE, and programming language for creating your own h...
