<p>The students of ITP and IMA, too numerous to mention, have been an amazing source of feedback throughout this process. Much of the material in this book comes from my course of the same title, which I’ve now taught 17 times. I have stacks of draft printouts of the book with notes scrawled in the margins, as well as a vast archive of student emails with corrections, comments, and generous words of encouragement.</p>
<p>I would like to spotlight several students who worked as graduate associates on the Nature of Code materials. Through their work with the ITP/IMA Equitable Syllabus project, Chaski No and Briana Jones provided extraordinary research support that expanded the book’s concepts and references. As the graduate assistant for the inaugural undergraduate version of the Nature of Code class, Gracy Whelihan offered invaluable support and feedback, and always reminded me of the wonder of random numbers.</p>
<p>Jason Gao and Stuti Mohgaonkar worked on the build systems for the book materials, inventing new workflows for writing and editing. Elias Jarzombek also warrants a mention for his advice and technical support, stemming from the <em>Code of Music</em> book project.</p>
<p>After graduating, Jason Gao continued to develop and design the Nature of Code website. If you head to <a href="http://natureofcode.com/"><em>https://natureofcode.com</em></a> right now, you will see the fruits of his many talents: a full version of the book that seamlessly integrates with the p5.js web editor. It’s a realization far beyond my initial vision.</p>
<p>The interior of the book was meticulously designed by Tuan Huang. Tuan began developing layout ideas while taking the Nature of Code class in the spring of 2023. After graduating, Tuan further refined the design, working to develop a consistent visual language across the many elements of the book. Her minimal and elegant aesthetics greatly enhanced the book’s visual appeal and accessibility. A special thanks also to the OpenMoji project—the open source emoji and icon project (Creative Commons license <a href="https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/#">CC BY-SA 4.0</a>)—for providing a delightful and comprehensive set of emojis used throughout this book for various elements.</p>

<p>I’m also indebted to the energetic and supportive creative coding community and the Processing Foundation. I wouldn’t be writing this book if it weren’t for Casey Reas and Ben Fry, who created Processing in 2001 and co-founded the Processing Foundation. They’ve dedicated over 20 years to building and maintaining the software and its community. I’ve learned half of what I know simply from reading through the Processing source code and documentation; the elegant simplicity of the Processing language, website, and IDE is the original source of inspiration for all my teaching and work.</p>
<p>Lauren Lee McCarthy, the creator of p5.js, planted the seed that made everything possible for transforming the book into JavaScript. She’s a tireless champion for inclusion and access in open source, and her approach to community building has been profoundly inspiring to me. Cassie Tarakajian invented the p5.js web editor, a heroic undertaking that has made it possible to collect and organize all the example code in the book.</p>
<p>My heartfelt thanks extends to the other current and former members (along with Casey, Ben, and Lauren) of the Processing board of directors: Dorothy Santos, Kate Hollenbach, Xin Xin, and Johanna Hedva. A special acknowledgment to the project leads, staff, and alumni of the foundation, who have each played a pivotal role in shaping and propelling the community and its projects: Andres Colubri, Charles Reinhardt, evelyn masso, Jesse C Thompson, Jonathan Feinberg, Moira Turner, Qianqian Ye, Rachel Lim, Raphaël de Courville, Saber Khan, Suhyun (Sonia) Choi, Toni Pizza, Tsige Tafesse, and Xiaowei R. Wang.</p>
