Processing is an MIT-developed framework for making little code  
artifacts, animations, visualizations, and the like, developed  
originally by Ben Fry and Casey Reas, supported by a small army of  
open-source contributors. Processing has become a sort of standard for  
visually-oriented programming, strongly influencing the designs of  
Nodebox, Shoes, Arduino, and other kindred projects. For more  
information, take a look at [http://processing.org/](http://processing.org/)

The Phoenix Ruby U. Group meets at 6:30pm on the second Monday of
