The Art of Code
summary
Starts from concrete demos and tools: Conway’s Game of Life shows a glider gun every 27 generations and an implemented NAND gate built from eaters and gliders to prove circuits and computation are possible; the Mandelbrot comes from z → z² + z and contains infinite zoomable detail; deep dream reverses convolutional neural nets to hallucinate dogs; live coding with Sonic Pi uses SuperCollider (Erlang) for sub-40 ms audio loops; several polyglues exist including a polyquine in C Ruby Perl Python and C++ and a Rockstar interpreter in JavaScript that runs in the browser (codewithrockstar.com/online) and actually executes.
