book: The Nature of Code (with Processing graphics library)


The Nature of Code: Amazing book by a very funny author about a bunch of stuff to make experiences more natural based on the Processing language by @shiffman


"All aboard The Coding Train! This beginner-friendly creative coding tutorial is designed to grow your skills in a fun, hands-on way as you build simulations of real-world phenomena with “The Coding Train” YouTube star Daniel Shiffman.
What if you could re-create the awe-inspiring flocking patterns of birds or the hypnotic dance of fireflies—with code?"




Processing is a free graphics library and integrated development environment (IDE) built for the electronic arts, new media art, and visual design communities with the purpose of teaching non-programmers the fundamentals of computer programming in a visual context.

Processing uses the Java programming language, with additional simplifications such as additional classes and aliased mathematical functions and operations. It also provides a graphical user interface for simplifying the compilation and execution stage.
