Processing is a programming language and environment built for the electronic arts and visual design communities. It was created to teach fundamentals of computer programming within a visual context and to serve as a software sketchbook. The software exports Java applets which may be posted on the Internet and shared with other artists and designers. Processing.org is the online hub for the international community of people using the software. It hosts examples, reference, a public exhibition, and a discussion space.
