Programming Interactivity is a great new book that covers a wide range of topics. What is different about this book is that it shows hardware geeks like myself that Processing and openFrameworks is not scary - it's actually quite powerful and easy to use! And for the software person that eats Java with a heap of scripting, hardware can un-tether you from a computer and open up a new world of embedded computing.

A few of the topics covered:

•     - Basic C
•     - Processing
•     - openFrameworks
•     - Computer Vision (OpenCV)
•     - Gesture and touch recognition
•     - Protocols
•     - Motors and Servos
•     - Solenoids
•     - LEDs and LCDs
•     - LilyPad
•     - GPS and Location
• 
  

This is a fast paced book! If you have some base experience with Arduino, some hardware, or maybe a few weeks of openFrameworks, this is a great book to really deepen your knowledge of how all these great projects can be united to create a truly amazing installation.
