Review: An all-around amazing book on generative design - This is definitely one of my favorite books on yes, Processing - but also simply a beautifully designed book in its own right. It's even worthwhile simply as a collection of inspiring generative art, even if you have no interest in learning the code from a practical level. If you do, however, you're in for even more of a treat, because the code examples are laid out beautifully. As a designer, it's amazingly refreshing to see educational material treated in a way that is both easy to understand and aesthetically pleasing. The visual examples are diverse and inspiring, and the code is explained in a way that is relatively straightforward to understand. It's helpful if you have a fundamental understanding of Processing (or coding in general), but because it's broken apart so well, you don't need to understand everything to be able to grasp the core functionality. There are other books that are better for teaching basic concepts in a methodical way (Daniel Shiffman does a great job with Learning Processing and then The Nature of Code), but this book is great to add to the collection for its variety of inspiring examples. Most of the works have walkthroughs of the code side by side, and the actual source code is available to download as well. If you're interested in Processing or generative art, I can't recommend this book enough.
Review: A great book for learning Processing - I'm only 1/2 way through this book. I bought it (after hesitating due the the textbook high pricing) because it was highly recommended by students and instructors alike in a Intro to Computational Arts course I took recently online (via SUNY). It is a beautiful book and so well organized. The only knock is I wish in some cases it would give fuller code examples in some of the more involved sketches. I find by typing the code snippets as it is being broken down and explained is a very useful way to 'experience' and learn to code. I've been working with Processing for a long time and it is one of the best for both explaining the use of the Processing language and framing it with in context of Graphic Arts and design principles. Another example and perhaps a bit more accessible to people new to coding is Matt Perason's Generative Art: a practical guide using Processing. This book Generative Design: Visualize, Program and Create with Processing has been a great 'next' step (more advance) text and reference. It is organized by some basic design concepts (the use of color, shape, agents (interaction) and also has about 1/2 of the text devoted to Complex Methods (exploring randomness, noise, attractors, oscillation, etc). In the end this is a book I will go back to many many times and has been surprisingly well worth the price.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fantastic Book
*by H***G on May 22, 2013*

A fantastic book on generative design and art. A rich documentary ideal for the beginner because it shows, then explains the code using descriptions in side boxes. This way you can experiment with the parameters or be inspired and take the idea further in your own direction. The book's layout and design are beautiful and easy to read. The paper and print are of high quality. This is a large book and is a great supplement to a course in the Processing programming language. Well worth the money.
