I was introduced to Processing and MaxMsp [1] in a college course where I was tasked in creating generative art and sound installations. I had no programming experience and I agree it was easy to pick up and definitely drove my interest in programming. I think its a great way for artists to get started in something that can become very complex [1] http://cycling74.com/products/max/ http://cycling74.com/products/max/ as an aside there is an open source version of MaxMSP called puredata that was also excellent http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pure_Data http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pure_Data
