2.7. Processing in the world

At the moment, Processing is used mainly for teaching because of its easiness. Important universities such as Washington, Virginia, Copenhagen, Londres, Berlin, New York or Roma use them, as well as in many art schools.

For example, in the Chicago School of the Art Institute, the department of art and technology uses Processing in one of its courses, along with Director in order to juxtapose traditional practices of analog drawing with the process of sketching in code.

At uvanewmedia, a virtual gallery, resource toolkit, and collaborative meeting space for new media artists of all disciplines at the University of Virginia, they use Processing for teaching algorithmic graphics, and interactive java applets.

In the Processing page there is a also a very active forum where it is discussed many things related with the language: announcing events, tools, syntax, libraries, bugs and many others.
