[lugm.org] [Fwd: UG News: Processing and Arduino in Tandem--New Course from O'Reilly]

[Avinash Meetoo]

Thanks for sharing Aadil.

By the way, has anyone played with Processing
(http://processing.org/), the programming language which is going to
be used in the course? Anyone owns the Processing handbook and who is
willing to lend it to me for a few weeks (see
http://www.amazon.com/Processing-Programming-Handbook-Designers-Artists/dp/0262182629)?
