All of the core Processing methods are available in Ruby-Processing, often in the standard Ruby under_score_fashion. So, the Processing API is a good place to start.

Processing has a wealth of pure-Java libraries for PDF export, video, audio, OpenGL graphics, animation, typography, physics, raytracing, and many others, several of which come included with Ruby-Processing. You can find the rest at the Processing Libraries Page, and download them and drop them into your library folder.

To stay up-to-date with Ruby-Processing, as it develops, you can start “watching” it here on GitHub, or grab the RSS feed for cutting-edge developments.

There’s now a forum, kindly provided by the Processing folks. Come on in and join the conversation.

If you’re just learning to code for the first time, Ruby-Processing includes many of the examples from Daniel Shiffman’s Learning Processing, an introductory textbook.
