The Nature of Code – evolutionary and emergent properties of nature in code
- jhayward 8y agoThis is an advertisement for a book. I see nothing of interest that could be discussed in the blurb.
- boothead 8y agoYou can read the whole book for free online: https://natureofcode.com/book/ https://natureofcode.com/book/ Which I highly recommend - it's great! :-)
- tsp 8y agoIt's quite old already (from 2012), but still relevant, especially for creative coders. For everybody who does not know the author—Daniel Shiffman—do yourself a favour and have a look at his Youtube tutorials. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCvjgXvBlbQiydffZU7m1_aw https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCvjgXvBlbQiydffZU7m1_aw

- RenRav 8y agoLink got slashdotted? Having trouble loading content across my handheld.
- nielsbot 8y agoWorked for me just now FWIW
- 0xb100db1ade 8y agoThis book got me interested in physics and AI. A full, pleasurable year of my programming life was inspired by this book. And what I learned from the physics part of the book made high school physics a piece of cake. Thank you, Daniel Shiffman
- eldavojohn 7y agoThis is a very great book for people who want to get started coding for free. I both kickstarted and reviewed this book on Slashdot back when it came out. https://books.slashdot.org/story/13/01/09/160246/book-review-the-nature-of-code https://books.slashdot.org/story/13/01/09/160246/book-review... The author is an awesome guy and accepts all errata with nothing but positive gratitude!
