[Noisebridge-discuss] Teaching programming for artists and designers

[Brian Ferrell]

That sounds like a lot of fun. I started getting my hands dirty with
processing a few months ago but didn't really stick with it. I'm sure
there are a few others in the group who have some experience with it
too. I, for one, would love to help get a presentation/workshop set
up.

I follow this site pretty closely and am amazed by some of the work
done in processing:
