The Nature of Code (2nd Edition)

My final year dissertation focused on Genetic Algorithms, where I implemented an ecosystem of herbivores, carnivores, and omnivores (referred to as "blobs," similar to those described in this book). The title of the paper was "Simulating Adaptation by Natural Selection Using Genetic Algorithms." It was a really fun project, and I learned a great deal from it. This book would have been handy at the time, as the only resources I had were Craig Reynolds's Boids. I conducted my research and simulation back in 2009. One day, I will attempt the simulation again, utilizing the knowledge from this book, particularly the neural networks to give the blobs a "brain," and the experience I have gained since then. You've got yourself a buyer!

  Love it! I built a similar alife simulation but as a Quake 2 mod using the monsters as the agents and plants and stuff with neural nets and genetic algorithms. My piece was titled "Ecosystem: Constructing a simple self-perpetuating society of adaptable agents" [1]. This was 2003, not for school but for fun. I submitted it for an ai writing comp on ai-depot.com but the comp failed for lack of entries. I have some pics on a repo backup of the project [2]. Agreed, "nature of code" looks like fun!

The first edition of this book played such a huge role in me learning to program, and thus set the stage for (likely) the rest of my life. Daniel Shiffman has probably had that influence on many, many, many people. To this day, I recommend p5.js as a starting place for learning programming, and then picking up The Nature of Code once all the basics make sense and the newly-minted programmer is ready for some bigger challenges. Very excited to own a physical copy of this new edition to always warmly look back on! :)

  Any thoughts on what role creative coding plays in the overall software engineering field? Is it done for recreation and art? Do people use it to create and sell products as well? I love watching and working through The Coding Train videos! One reason why I haven't gone deep into creative coding is I don't know where I'll use it.

    I guess mainly recreation and, particularly, teaching.

    Google has a Creative Lab which employs a handful of creative coders who primarily work with emerging tech on experimental projects. They also offer a one year paid fellowship to young grads to join their labs in either NY or London: https://www.creativelab5.com/ https://www.creativelab5.com/ Creative coding is everywhere these days. From the parametric architecture of Zaha Hadid and MAD architects to procedurally generated furniture designs and jewelry. https://n-e-r-v-o-u-s.com/projects/ https://n-e-r-v-o-u-s.com/projects/

    While I don’t use the term, it’s applicable to what I do as a career. I like to say I make installations, objects, and experiences with complex inner lives. Sometimes I add the word ‘digital’ in there. Many who do what I do describe themselves as ‘creative technologists’ because code is but one part alongside experience design, art direction, fabrication, systems design, and electrical engineering.

The challenges videos from The Coding Train are super entertaining to watch. It all feels like a joke, having Daniel Shiffman performing all sorts of hilarius acts and explanations. By the end of a video you have not only laughed all along but most importantly you have learnt something interesting in a simple and entertaining way. I would love to purchase the CHOO-CHOO flute that Mr. Shiffman sounds from time to time (if engraved with the coding train logo, better) but unfortunately is not available for purchase in their online store.

Glad to see it's done. As a philosopher with only a bit of programming background (and previously no javascript), this was very helpful for getting some simulations online in a format easy for my students and others to play around with: https://mikedeigan.com/the-cursor/posts/2022/skyrmsian-signalling-simulations-reinforcement.html https://mikedeigan.com/the-cursor/posts/2022/skyrmsian-signa...

What is new in the 2nd edition?
- philomathdan 2y ago
  Just glancing through it, it looks like the 2nd edition uses p5.js instead of Processing, and there's an additional chapter entitled "Neuroevolution."
- shiffman 2y ago
  Chapter 6 is also revamped (to use matter.js) and other chapters include expanded / revised examples and explanations. Chapter 10 was almost entirely re-written, Chapter 11 is new.
  - j0hnyl 2y ago
    Thanks Dan! The first edition of your book sits on my desk for inspiration and has become a creative reference for me. It was actually a nice exercise to convert everything to p5js for me. Thanks for keeping us informed and entertained over the years!

I read this book when I was in high school and it played a major role in shaping my interests in programming and math. Highly recommend it.

Daniel Shiffman is a legend! love his teaching style.
surajama 2y ago
The first edition was absolutely critical in helping me understand how to program anything more than simple scripts. I got hooked into the physics simulation portion and created a pretty fun Asteroids-inspired game. Although OOP is going out of style, I think learning it is super important to understand how you can use layers of abstraction to build increasingly complex programs.
atum47 2y ago
I've learned so much from watching Daniel's videos on YouTube. They are also very entertaining. Always featuring a cool algorithm that you usually don't know exists. Great work!
raincole 2y ago
The first edition is one of my favorite programming books. I'm not a big fan of youtube coding tutorials, and glad to see the author is still updating the bood instead of devoting to the youtube channel.
hbbio 2y ago
Super interesting topic and awesome book overall! I may be nitpicking, but any teaching material with JavaScript poor coding practices can hurt both humans and LLMs. 1. When you don't reassign a variable it's a `const` 2. for (let i = 0; i < total; i++) { randomCounts[i] = 0; } is `new Array(total).fill(0)` etc.

  - ralusek 2y ago
    I don’t get this argument. const means you can’t reassign the variable, that’s it. If you don’t plan on reassigning the variable, use const. In the rare places that you don’t use const, you’re telling me that you reassign the variable somewhere. I don’t understand why people need const to be something it’s not. The fact that you can still mutate objects is because in js, an object assigned to a variable is best thought of as a pointer to a value in the heap. const means the variable won’t reassign the reference, Object.freeze means the referenced data can’t change. Both useful, both different use cases; needn’t be conflated.
- in9 2y ago
  Or, OR, maybe, not every bit of code needs to match all the common good practices and standards. I bet you don't write formally or in Elizabethan English all the time. Context matters in the form of common language. Why should it be any different with code? Just because LLMs can pick those practices up?
  - hbbio 2y ago
    That's not a good comparison imho. Programming languages are formal. Otherwise you're talking about programming prompts for a LLM. And the resulting program may vary.

I'm a big fan of Dan Shiffman, and got the first Nature of Code through his Kickstarter project in 2012 [1]. Even if you are an advanced programmer, there's something magical about Dan's style and his ability to explain concepts in a simple way. Also perfect to get kids started in programming. The book is available for free online, but if you can afford, it's a great addition to your (physical) bookshelf.

You’re also a celebrity in my household as I have your videos running on the TV in the background while I prepare the kids’ breakfasts on Sunday morning. I’ve pre-ordered the new book on Amazon!
