Processing & Kinect Resources

For those of you who are using Processing & Kinect, here are two books that I’d recommend:

It just so happens that with a Toronto Public Library card you get access to Safari Tech Books Online which includes these books and others. This is a massively valuable resource and includes the following titles which are relevant to this course:

• Getting Started with Arduino
• Arduino Cookbook
• Make: Electronics
• Getting Started with Processing
• Generative Art: A Practical Guide Using Processing
• Programming Interactivity
• Making Things See
• Meet the Kinect
• Hacking the Kinect
• Arduino and Kinect Projects: Design, Build, Blow Their Minds
• Getting Started with the Internet of Things
• Making Things Talk, 2nd edition
• Building Wireless Sensor Networks

Dan Shiffman also has a really good book called “Learning Processing”. The second year DFI students used this book last year so you might be able to borrow a copy from one of them.

Also, there are very clear and helpful tutorials available on the internet:

• On the Processing website
• From the Learning Processing book

Finally, if you go to Canvas and look in the Creation & Computation files folder you’ll notice that I left some goodies for you…
