Series author here. To respond to some of the comments...

Making it interactive with a repl would be great, I agree. I've thought about going down that route a few times in the past, but it's then something new to maintain forever. Text and pseudocode will last a long time without touching it.

Thanks for the contents on the Youtube channel. The reason I stopped was because it takes a lot of effort to make those things. And I never was able to successfully monetize them. I've made videos on some other platforms and made good money from them. I just don't have the time to sink into that now for nothing in return.

As for needing a better sales pitch, etc. heh, yeah. This is just a labor of love. It'll go up there and stay up there for many years hopefully. If people find it and get something out of it, I'm happy. I don't expect to make a cent out of it. I'm just passionate about writing and teaching. And I find I learn a lot more when I try to teach.



Thanks for the reply re the yt channel, that's a shame as I'm sure you could package some of the content esp the physics ones into a course, I'd definitely buy that. There is a market for intermediate level training material that I've seen executed here and there, some examples are https://www.youtube.com/@DmitrySoshnikov-education/videos, release some free content from a course, hoping https://www.youtube.com/c/LowLevelJavaScript/videos does something similar in the future. Cheers and all the best!


Nice to see your article on here Keith... Maybe there is a way to get the old experiment a day back in order ? That is a gem worthwhile to share today too


I wanted to thank you for all the stuff and knowledge you’ve shared all these years. Great content.


What other platforms do you sell your videos? I'm a huge fan of your coding math series, also playing with chaos book. Thanks for the great work, I've learned a lot from you.


You are aware of processing.org?

This is more or less what you propose. I used it to teach programming more than once.
