Download Processing 2.0 Beta (You may need to scroll down to the bottom of the page to find version 2.0b1).
This semester we are going to use Processing 2.0 (currently in version Beta1). The advantage of this is that this version of Processing includes Javascript mode, better support for video, and several other features. The downside to using 2.0 is that it is new and will result in differences in the reference and examples on the Processing web site, as well as in the various Processing books. Changes are documented on the Processing wiki. If you think you have found a bug or are confused by a syntax difference, send an e-mail to the google group.

You can get links to all the examples from the syllabus. In addition, we will be storing everything created for the course in the ICM Github repo: https://github.com/ITPNYU/ICM
