openFrameworks O’Reilly book! August 03 2009
The openFrameworks library which I develop (with Zach and Arturo) and use for my own work is featured in the excellent new O’Reilly book ‘Programming Interactivity‘ written by Joshua Noble.
Quote: “With Programming Interactivity, you’ll explore cutting-edge techniques for interaction design, and get the background and technical information you need to design, program, build, and troubleshoot your own projects. This book explains programming and electrical engineering basics, and introduces three freely available tools created specifically for artists and designers: Processing, Arduino, and OpenFrameworks.”
It comes out July 2009 so be sure to grab the first printed book on openFrameworks.
In other news a Japanese book dedicated to openFrameworks is also in the works!
