Is Processing.org the Best IDE for Learning Programming?

In summary, the conversation discusses the speaker's experience with learning programming, including starting with Scratch and now moving on to C++ and Python. The other person recommends using the Processing.org website to learn Java, which is easier to learn than C++ and has a Python mode as well. They also mention that there are no separate versions of Processing for students and engineers, and it is commonly used in universities to teach programming.

Take a look at the Processing.org website there are many resources there to learn Java using the processing framework. Its designed for students in your situation who want to learn and yet want to do interesting things quickly.

There are many examples to try and you can start by tweeking them (changing small stuff) to see what happens and then extend them to do more exciting stuff. There are tutorials available and there are library extensions for writing android apps, games, ai and more in their downloadable packages pulldown.

Java is easier than C/C++ to learn and is quite pervasive in the web and mobile technology world so you'd be preparing yourself for the future.

Processing also has a Python mode that is based on Jython (ie Python on Java) with many examples (not as many as for Java) to try.

Did you go to the site processing.org?

Its an integrated development environment, an IDE meaning it can help you write your code, run your code and debug your code. It can also install library modules for doing more custom things.

Theres no separate versions for students and engineers. Processing is used at many universities to teach introductory programming in Java.
