The official Processing tutorials split into video links and leveled text lessons across four sibling platforms

The processing.org tutorials index is a catalog, not a lesson: it lists external video tutorials (Daniel Shiffman’s Hello Processing and Coding Train, Andrew Glassner, Jose Sanchez, Abe Pazos, and others) and on-site text tutorials arranged as step-by-step lessons tagged Beginner, Intermediate, or Advanced. The same navigation presents Processing as a family of four sibling platforms — the original desktop Processing, p5.js, Processing Python, and Processing Android — so a newcomer can pick an entry point (install-free browser p5.js vs desktop Java) and a difficulty level. Use this page to route to a lesson; the actual teaching lives on the linked per-tutorial pages, which are separately licensed and not mirrored here.

Examples

Install-free start: Daniel Shiffman’s browser-based ‘Hello Processing’ (‘No software install needed’). Desktop start: ‘Getting Started’ by Casey Reas & Ben Fry (Beginner). Advanced: ‘P3D’ and ‘PVector’ by Shiffman.

Assessment

From the official tutorials index, name two beginner entry points and say which requires no install; name the four sibling Processing platforms the site lists.
