10 reasons why you should learn to code with processing

“I am a Startup hipster, I am raving with ideas however I don’t code!” – Your average next door Startup hipster

No worries hipster, here comes Processing to your rescue! I am going to give you 10 reasons on why you should learn processing and how its going to help you in your daily life (and not just startup life)

1. Processing is the coolest prototyping language out there and its build to teach non-programmers how to code, you can actually prototype in less than 5 minutes and get going! The Syntax is super easy and its interactivity can actually transform you to a parallel universe.

2. Its open source, free to download and fly with your hip ideas. – Enuff said!

3. No need for a complex IDE. The inbuilt IDE is simple, intuitive and easy to understand.

4. Hardware hipster? Processing is super similar to Arduino and you can actually integrate arduino projects with processing

5. Complex visualizations are now a piece of cake, thanks to the powerful graphics API (inbuilt)

6. Multi-platform!

7. Creative designer? What are you waiting for? Tell your story using data and show it via processing’s awesome visualizations.

8. Huge community and well documented…

9. Did I say open source?

10. Kinect fan? Use processing to code for Kinect. So no need to learn C# just use a great library by Daniel Shiffman and BOOM!
