Processing Books
There are many good books on Processing and you can find a nice list of them on the Processing website here
My two recommendations to start with:
- Learning processing by Daniel Schiffmann (http://learningprocessing.com/)
- The Nature of Code by Daniel schiffmann (https://natureofcode.com/) <-- you can do this one online
And when you have read those then you are ready for:
- Generative Design (http://www.generative-gestaltung.de/)
