I will hold an introductory, 2 hour (http://processing.org) Processing workshop aimed at visual artists at Openlab 5, which will be at (http://www.cafeoto.co.uk/) Cafe Oto in Dalston on the 25th of April.
For the first half, I will introduce Processing, some essential resources and books for learning it and for programming in general, and show some examples. The second half will be an guided open workshop.
Cost: Ł10

There are other programming/music/electronics workshops during the afternoon, and performances in the evening. I think I'll be camping out there for the day. :o)
The workshop hours are set at 1-3pm on Saturday, 25 April.
There is another visuals programming workshop before, from 12-1pm, which could be very interesting for vjs looking to see other visual software alternatives. Also, presentations will take place throughout the day starting at 1pm and ending around 5pm. Performances will start around 7pm and end late:
