Getting Started with p5.js: Making Interactive Graphics in JavaScript and Processing (Make: Technology on Your Time)

As a graphic designer, I wanted to expand my skills into more digital means, and java p5 was the way to do it. I recently graduated with my master's degree and missed out on taking coding classes while still enrolled. So I bought this book, and now I'm happy to say I'm a coder at work! My clients are asking for more and more generative art, and combining my two passions is great! I had ZERO prior coding experience and following this book one page at a time led me to the job I have now! Many clear examples and great practice problems illustrate how to use and operate the java p5 library. Highly recommend getting this book if you are interested in learning how to code! At the end of the photos, I included some of my work from the practice problems in the book.

Actually the best p5js guide I have ever seen

Simple book for none programmers or engineers to learn about graphics

What a great book to get you started with p5.js! This book covers the basics and quickly gets you into some cool graphics. I read half way through and worked along with the projects. Then I started exploring later chapters. Also a great reference to have nearby.Highly recommend you start here!

This book is great for people who want to learn p5.js, which is great for students and kids trying to learn web-development. I bought this for someone who is in the early stages of learning javascript and thought it would be a nice way to get them started, and it was. If you want to teach someone javascript this is a nice place to start, despite the fact that it basically turns javascript into "processing" which is arduino's programming language. All in all, really easy to follow, we had a little game going on in minutes.

This book is well written. It conveys complex ideas like object oriented programming clearly and concisely. It is mostly for someone new to programming, but will also be useful to someone who has programming experience and wants a systematic intro to p5.js

Arrived on time, the quality of the book is really good. It’s pretty thin, smaller than usual coding books. The paper quality is also very high(not glossy paper). Just got the book, so can not really comment about the content. Flipping through pages - looks like it’s a very detailed intro into the basics, like shapes and motion.

p5 is a great graphics library and this is a great book if you want to learn about it. It takes you though ideas one at a time, building your repertoire bit by bit. If you go to You Tube and watch Daniel Shiffman's videos while reading this book, you'll be all set.

You get the picture already stuck between 2 passions, now you can have your cake and eat it. I am taken back with the diverse applications this can be related to, thank you

Llegó bien y a tiempo. Aún no lo inició.

Explains the basic concepts of p5js really well. Great way to get you started if have zero prior knowledge of coding. A portable size too.

An offline book for an online graphic library is a good idea to improve the library's knowledge. Only the practice was not enough for me, and reviewing offline some ideas was a great help for me.

p5.js 版ですが、processing版と内容は近いです．少し古い書き方（codeが）をしています．値段も高くは無く、持ちやすいので（多くの洋書はデカくて重い）、気楽に持ち歩いて読めます．初めての人には最適と思います．
