The book is going to have a print run and is available for pre-order right now! It's being published by No Starch Press. The hardcover, however, is a mock-up, it will be a flexi-bound softcover.
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.
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!
Just wanted to pop in and say hi here! Delighted to discover this thread, it's been quite the adventure trying to get this new version of the book finished. Happy to answer any questions about the book here! Thanks for the support and kind feedback.
Thank you, Dan, for everything you’ve done for the creative coding community and for coding education in general!
I teach creative coding to kids at a local library, and when the parents ask me what else their kids can do to learn to code, I always tell them to check out your videos on YouTube.
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.
Thanks for that book, and congratulations on the second edition. I'm a backer (via Kickstarter - the first project that I supported IIRC) of the original version, and I greatly enjoyed reading that and tinkering with the algorithms.
I hope this version goes as well as the first edition! You deserve that.
Thank you so much for your content over the years. It is genuinely a feel good experience but also full of substance. It is genuinely enjoyable and the topics are really fun.
The youtube videos are amazing and also love the book and its presentation! Thank you for putting out such genuinely feel good and positive content.
My intention is to send free digital updates to those who purchased the original 2012 PDF via the website, I have a list via fetchapp.com. I will probably remove this message for the new version. Print editions or other proprietary ebook formats (like kindle, etc) will be for purchase only for the new version. More: https://github.com/nature-of-code/natureofcode.com/pull/42
