Thank you, Make, for putting out another book that helps us engineering teachers learn, explain, and show a variety of skills to our students.
Best PD I've had this school year:)!

Good introductory book to Processing.py that readers with experience in Python and OpenGL will breeze through. This is a quick-start book with concise descriptions and simple examples. Readers new to programming gets a brief introduction, and would do well learning the basics elsewhere, or reading a primer alongside this title.

I edited this book and built (but did not design) the cover.
