Daniel Shiffman is a very likable (and smart!) guy. I highly recommend his YouTube channel: The Coding Train. It's a lot of fun. https://www.youtube.com/user/shiffman
The Coding Train playlist on Youtube has a lot of great content. Not just Nature of Code, but full tutorials on making Minesweeper, Tetris and Snake clones, Git for Poets, Twitter Bots, etc. Best way to get a solid intro to creative coding and Processing / p5.js.
He taught me regex and javascript through his channel, he's my go to.
I had him for a few classes at ITP. He was probably the best teacher I've ever had.
Yup, he's a great guy. (I'm also a former student.)
