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.

I’ve pre-ordered the new book on Amazon!

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.

Thank you so much, Dan! I enjoyed the first edition and your Coding Train videos.

Fantastic work and way of teaching.

Thanks for your work Daniel!
