Hey, great tutorial playlist ! Could you create a few videos about algorithms (using javascript)?
HAHAHA that instagram search though! too funny
OKAY, couldn't you come to my knowledge a little early. I wasted shit ton of money on some stupid Bootcamp in Delhi. By the way, your way of teaching is like enjoying a sitcom and getting educated at the same time. Bless you buddy.
Instagram has an API…flower…WHOOPS!

I need to read xlsx file directly to p5.js, i lost on google trying to find libraries that access xlsx file 🙁
Thanks.
Wow this is great! You make a great teacher 🙂

Hey Daniel, Top Tip: You should re-do this tutorial and at 03.10 start singing this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IAG8iD-XS44 : )
A great introductory video to understand what APIs and JSON are for. Thanks!
Just found you videos and think you're brilliant as a teacher! 🙂
google apple
you are Awesome Thanks ^^
A general P5 question : If the p5 library is loaded before our script js, why can't we immediately call a p5 function with script.js? e.g. noCanvas() outslide of any function wouldn't work because noCanvas is still undefined when it's called.
