&ldquo An optimal place to begin your journey into coding. Clear, concise, and of consequence.&rdquo &mdash Wasalu Jaco, pka Lupe Fiasco IT &ldquo Montfort has constructed an entirely unique text in the crowded &lsquo how-to-program&rsquo genre by focusing on programming as a mode of inquiry and on computation as culture.&rdquo &mdash Casey Reas, Professor, UCLA Design Media Arts &ldquo I turned to Montfort&rsquo s first edition of Exploratory Programming for my humanities-based programming classes because it offered the beginning programmer an inviting and creative introduction for learning to code. Students remarked that the book &lsquo spoke their language&rsquo in its explanations, with its examples, and through its exercises. This second edition builds on that foundation by paying even more attention to the vital role that experimental practice plays in learning programming as a form of inquiry. I'm excited to work with this second edition and am looking forward to what students build with it.&rdquo &mdash Casey Boyle, Director, Digital Writing and Research Lab, University of Texas at Austin &ldquo The second edition of Exploratory Programing for the Arts and Humanities is an astute, gentle, and reflective guide to coding. Through carefully chosen exercises, Montfort shows artists and humanists how to create and explore text and images, and demystifies how to make a computer do something new.&rdquo &mdash Benjamin Schmidt, Director of Digital Humanities, NYU.
