SO YOU WANT TO LEARN…
HARDWARE INTERFACING OR CREATIVE CODING
Beginner resources:
• Arduino (Inexpensive and beginner-
friendly microcontroller board. The
programming environment looks a lot like
Processing because they share similar
roots. Check out Creatron and other
places in Toronto to buy electronics
components.)
• openFrameworks
(A C++ library created for artists. Not as
easy as Processing to get started with but
C++ is the basis for most hardcore
gaming languages so it’s a good place to
start… or stick to for various projects.)
And beyond…
• Making Things Talk,
2nd edition (Intermediate
hardware projects)
• Programming
Interactivity, 2nd Edition
(Get the low down on Processing,
Arduino, AND openFrameworks. #win)
* Remember that some books can be found via the
Safari Books Online portal on the Toronto Public
Library website.
