Programming Interactivity--New from O'Reilly
A Designer's Guide to Processing, Arduino, and openFrameworks

Sebastopol, CA--Interested in using electronics and programming to create rich interactive
experiences with your artwork and designs? With Programming Interactivity (O'Reilly Media, $49.99
USD), you'll explore important themes in interactive art and design: 2D and 3D graphics, sound,
physical interaction, computer vision, geolocation, and much more.

You will also examine cutting-edge technologies for interaction design, and read through
discussions with leading artists and designers on project and theory. With the help of this book,
you will have the background and technical information you need to design, program, build, and
troubleshoot your own projects. Programming Interactivity explains programming and electrical
engineering basics, and introduces three freely available tools created specifically for artists
and designers:

- Processing, a Java-based programming language and environment for building projects on the
desktop, Web, or mobile phones
- Arduino, a system that integrates a microcomputer prototyping board, IDE, and programming
language for creating your own hardware and controls
- OpenFrameworks, a coding framework simplified for designers and artists, using the powerful C++
programming language

You'll get working code samples you can use right away, along with the background and technical
information you need to design, program, build, and troubleshoot your own projects. You'll finish
this book knowing how to design interaction and incorporate software and electronics into your
projects.

Advance Praise:
"This book is a great way for anyone to get started making interactive applications. It teaches the
fundamentals of programming and electronics so that beginners can start making cool projects right
away."
--Mark Frauenfelder, editor-in-chief, MAKE
