Dan Shiffman has a great YouTube channel on Processing stuff (mostly P5 these days).

I have watched so many hours of Dan's videos because he inspires a fervency of the acquisition of knowledge. I absolutely wish that I had his videos whenever I was first starting to program. His attitude is so endearing as it is clear that he simply can't contain his excitement about programming.

His Youtube channel used to be called "Coding Rainbow", but he was unfortunately forced to change it. He really does a great job at capturing the sense of wonder that "Reading Rainbow" inspired in me as a kid.

I just watched him last weekend - he triggers the curious learner, without avoiding mistakes, and walking as a discoverer he teaches difficult concepts with fun.

Hope he really launches some big online learning thing covering more areas.

Dan is the man! He also has a great follow up course in p5.js on Kadenze based on his Nature of Code book as well which is really great! https://www.kadenze.com/courses/the-nature-of-code/info

Nice tip. I've started this course a couple of days ago: https://www.kadenze.com/courses/introduction-to-programming-...

I think I'm going to do that one next
