Fun-Programming VS website-archive

I’ve found https://fullstackopen.com/ to be the most understandable and practical guide.

To learn the very basics I also recommend https://funprogramming.org/

Of course at any point deviate and build your own apps. Then continue with the guides

I used this code to get the midi file playing and then substituted this to make the ripple effect.

The Coding Train is Shiffman's site that includes his YouTube tutorials and specific challenges.

Best youtube series here: https://thecodingtrain.com/

If I recall correctly, I tried to get into generative art 3 times. The first two times failed because I couldn't figure out where to start. The third time, in which I went from total noob to whatever I am now, I succeeded because I figured out where to start: by following Daniel Shiffman/Coding Train's 'Nature of Code', in its various forms: the online class at Kadenze, the book The Nature of Code, which you can buy or read for free, and the tutorials on YT: The Nature of Code: Simulating Natural Systems, an 83-video playlist using Processing, and The Nature of Code 2, 43 videos covering the same topics using p5.js. (I found them both useful, nowadays using whatever language is best suited for each specific project.) Daniel has been posting new tutorials, Coding Challenges, and livestreams on YT at least once a week for the past 6 years... many of the things I wanted to learn after the Nature of Code were already covered in his other videos. Daniel's Coding Train site also hosts his videos, often with additional useful materials. All of his resources have links to source code.

Then I found that many of the other things I wanted to learn had already been covered in Daniel/Coding Train's other videos, Coding Challenges, and livestreams... he's published a new video at least once a week for 6 years now, an invaluable resource. The Coding Train site has additional resources, like links to multiple sketches that represent the state of the code at different times in the video.
