Processing got me into programming in University while studying design and kicked off my (too-long) transition to full-time software-development. It's an awesome tool and I'm happy to see it is still going strong. To somebody looking for a little more advanced, but still approachable variant, I can highly recommend OpenFrameworks, which is C++-Based.
