Processing: Programming Instead of Drawing
Pia Fricker, Christoph Wartmann, Ludger Hovestadt · eCAADe proceedings · 2008
The following paper essentially focuses on the innovative use of an open-source programming language, called ‘Processing’, in the architecture curriculum and the development of a line of teaching beginning with Processing and ending with object-oriented programming in Java. This represents one creative possibility through which students are able to overcome the typically difficult step of learning a programming language and simultaneously learn how to apply it as a design tool.
