Hi folks,

• of late I’ve been looking at Processing in relation to Javascipt.  I’ve discovered that whilst Processing can do a lot of things – maybe what I should be looking at is a variant of Processing called P5.js. 

What is P5.js: It is  a JS client-side library for creating graphic and interactive experiences, based on the core principles of Processing.

It provides a very simple editor which can be used to illustrate the fundamentals of the Javascript language.  It is again, like Processing, very visual – which is a good thing 🙂

• It allows the programmer to see how the code appears in a browser window.
• Starting with how to draw a rectangle on a predefined canvas and  enables a learner to  visually work through the various constructs of the language itself, thus, maintaining interest along the way.
• You can download the p5.js editor from here if you want to try it out.
• Tutorials are available here.

Let me know how you get on.

Talk anon.
