The Nature of Code – evolutionary and emergent properties of nature in code (natureofcode.com)

This is an advertisement for a book. I see nothing of interest that could be discussed in the blurb.

It'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.

Daniel Shiffman is the creator of The Coding Train, which is one of the most wonderful places to learn programming using the Processing JavaScript library P5.js

You can see his extensive catalogue of lessons here[0].

This 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

This 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 author is an awesome guy and accepts all errata with nothing but positive gratitude!
