  1. I just found your youtube profile. You are really amazing. My note block is full of new information. You are really adding to my knowledge in a fun and uplifting manner. Thank you for doing this. I will be an active viewer of your videos from now on. Keep up the good work!

  2. 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.

  3. Teaching is a skill, Sir Newton could not do it. You are simply amazing and your creative use of english language penetrates through our skull. THANK YOU. Wish I could write code beautifully as you do…..

  4. You are the best! your videos make a lot of sense to me! Thank for you hard work! Could you please share the files to make that windmap please? I want to do something similar but dont know how to start.

  5. man that was a great video usually I get bored from these lectures but with your video the time fly I didn't even notice I miss the old days teaching were you can see the teacher explaining like yours good job my friend

  6. Hi Daniel, awesome work again.
    I have a question and appreciate if u can help by small example or at least a tip ๐Ÿ™‚

    I need to read xlsx file directly to p5.js, i lost on google trying to find libraries that access xlsx file ๐Ÿ™

    Thanks.

  7. 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.
