Mobile Processing
Few weeks ago mobile processing launched. What’s processing you ask?
Processing is an open source programming language and environment for people who want to program images, animation, and sound. It is used by students, artists, designers, architects, researchers, and hobbyists for learning, prototyping, and production. It is created to teach fundamentals of computer programming within a visual context and to serve as a software sketchbook and professional production tool.
Mobile processing brings this programming environment to cellphones. It’s in its early stages and so far only available for windows, but someone already put up instructions on how to get this working on macs (i haven’t tested this yet). As processing builds on java, mobile processing builds on j2me and your programs (or sketches in processing lingo) can therefore be readily deployed to millions of cellphones in circulation. Good news if you’re into mobile applications, the more development options the merrier.
