    Sure, I've heard of this Processing language.... I've seen some of its code examples and used some of it too. I do a decent amount of data visualization in the courses I teach. I do not teach Processing myself, but I have several colleagues who do use it and teach it too.

    Processing is breaking into the mainstream in several areas of application, it seems to me. There are several good books, so the documentation is relatively easy to find now.

    What do you need to know?

    sure. Processing is simply an extension to the Java programming language... it is a programming language designed for visual people.

    A lot of my students choose processing for their student projects... it handles 3d far better than As3. It also has some nice sound synthesis libraries.

    Processing has a great community, and is very student centered.

    Many of my students use processing to learn programming, then find it easy to switch over to actionscript as there is not a large market for paid web programming projects in Processing.
