To give my daughter started with rapid success in programming I have her down this book in hand and Processing installed on your PC. By simply reprogramming the examples followed by executing the programs came during the entire time on no frustration. All examples were developed independently without great demands. Especially the chapter with Arduino was fun because you can make something here also. Started very well suited if someone stands aside the programming can already. Previously you would have started with BASIC, now lends itself for processing on.
