Processing

I think it starts like all other art. With making something and if it sucks making something else and it it doesn’t suck making something else. I mean painting is the only way to be a painter, playing music is the only way to be a musician, and programming computers is the only way to be a computer programmer. Downloading Processing is a simple thing that might work and can be done in half an hour. https://processing.org/.

"Computers and the Imagination: Visual Adventures Beyond the Edge" is a great book, not exactly on generative art but very inspiring [https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2489703.Computers_and_the_Imagination]. For implementation, I have found https://pixijs.com/ very useful.
