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.

Flexbox Froggy

This started improving for me recently when I spent more time really learning flexbox and flexgrid. They are part of CSS so no installs needed. It’s a different way of thinking but I’m finally good enough with flexbox that I can tell when I need it and make productive use of it. Knowing these patterns makes a difference for me, since now I can assemble the blocks better than before when I’d just try mostly random css without any guiding principles.

Flexbox froggy helped a lot with some practical experience that translated fairly well to my regular work.

There are other games like this that I haven’t gotten to yet, including one for flexgrid. Once I clear all the levels in flexbox froggy I’m going to try the flexgrid game.

Then after that I’m going to spend time with bootstrap and tailwind since the last time I really used them was back in my more junior days when I barely knew anything at all about css.

Flexbox Froggy is an excellent resource for interactive learning.
