Shiffman's book "The Nature of Code"[0] is another great resource for learning programming with Processing/p5js, and covers some cool topics like cellular automata, steering agents/boids, simple neural networks, drawing fractals, and so on.
I had a lot of fun early in my own education following along with his guides. Coding Train looks like another great resource, thanks for sharing it.

- woudsma 4y agoThat book really made me fall in love with code. Nowadays I do mostly web development but I've spent many hours programming in Processing. It's a great learning environment with docs and terminology suited to beginners. I find it so fascinating that simple rules can result in complex behaviour and natural-looking patterns. I'm keeping a sketchbook with related Processing/WebGL graphics on my website[0] if anyone is interested :) [0] https://tjerkwoudsma.com https://tjerkwoudsma.com
- qubex 4y agoIf you enjoyed Shiffman’s “The Nature of Code”, then I highly recommend Flake’s “The Computational Beauty of Nature”, one of my all-time favourite books.
