At Last

The book arrived over a week ago but I've been trying to fit a new kitchen since then so there has been no opportunity to make a start. The kitchen is now finished, however, and I have had chance to read the first couple of chapters. Although this hasn't left me much the wiser as to the capabilities of Processing, nor closer to making a choice as to which chunk I'd like to write, I have to say the book at least seems promising as I like Greenberg's writing style and he seems genuinely enthusiastic about the subject.

I plan to get as far into the book as possible before reaching a decision about my choice of chunk - but obviously if all the intersesting stuff starts to disappear I may have to revise this plan.

As well as making a start on the book, I have also downloded the software and been through some of the tutorials on the Processing website. All I can say for the moment is that it seems quite interesting and that I look forward to delving deeper. I am especially interested in how it compares to Flash which I have used quite a bit in the past.
