Maketober Day 23: Make a good book purchase

There are two reasons why I wish I’d written The Nature of Code by Daniel Shiffman. The first is that it is really nicely put together and covers a whole range of useful topics in a very readable style. It’s really a book to be proud of. The second reason I wish I’d written it is that if I had I’d know all the content. Which I don’t - yet.

I think it would be especially useful to game developers as it covers a whole bunch of topics that you can use to make your code more organic and interesting.

All the programming examples are written using the Proccesing language. Don’t let this put you off. Processing has a lot in common with Java and JavaScript and the techniques can all be mapped over to these and other languages. I made a purchase of the book today. Strongly recommended.
