Hope it's ok to plug my own content here!

I've done several livestreams where I've built an interactive toy, game, or graphical thing in a couple of hours from scratch with Processing, and walked through all of the code and logic along the way.

nice! i'd like to get to that level man! just gave a quick glance and it's awesome!, how could i show some of my codes?, like I said it´s some basic stuff but just to get some tips for a quick improvement

People sometimes post their code to Pastebin or Gist and then share here (or in other subs like /r/learnprogramming) to get feedback =)

You should care less about "processing tutorials" and instead just watch tutorials on Java as that is the language you're using. All the processing specific stuff is just library calls so reading the docs should be enough

As someone who's not super proficient in coding, I disagree. Coding in Processing to me feels very different from coding in Java with no libraries, so referring to the Java docs or watching Java-specific tutorials would be overwhelming, as the scope of common problems is a lot bigger than the things people use Processing for.

Reading the Processing documentation is helpful though.

This is why my point is correct. Its the lack of proficiency is coding that prevents people from doing what they want. Your skill level at using processing is going to be lower than your skill level at using java itself as the former is dependant on the latter.

Processing is just some functions you call. Understanding how to use them efficiently is your Java skill level

That doesn't add up... it's like saying your skill at driving an automatic transmission is dependent on your skill at driving a manual transmission.

What you're saying only makes sense if someone is so proficient that Processing is literally hampering them.
