I've had the Processing book for about a week now.  It arrived in the bookshop sooner than expected.  I've been playing with 2D arrays and some basic code is shown below.  This just draws a "gradient" type of effect as output:
/*
My First Experiment with 2D Arrays

*/
float[][] myArray;
myArray = new float[200][200];
size(200, 200);
background(0);
for(int i=0; i<200; i++) { 
   for(int j=0; j<200; j++) {   
      myArray[i][j] = i;  
   }
}
for(int i=0; i<200; i++) {
   for(int j=0; j<200; j++) {   
      stroke(myArray[i][j]);
   point(i, j);
   }
}
The stuff in the book about loading an image from a file and manipulating it appeals to me in particular.  I feel a jigsaw type of application coming on!  This would probably be more suitable for the main program, i.e. not the one which is given as a primary example to the student.  For the latter, something more simple should suffice...
