Well I've nitpicked a bit above, so I feel obliged to state that this book has the cleanest, most reliable set of example code I've seen in years. All the examples work, with a simple cut and paste from the online Safari book to the Processing console. Nothing seems to have broken in Processing 3 since the book was published in Sep 2015 soon after 3.0 release, and the current release of 3.3 6. Working through this book on a Mac, at Sierra 10.12.6, has been a breeze, everything works as you would expect - cut, copy, paste, select all, undo, delete etc. (ie. Cmd C, X, V, A, Z, Del key), the Console, Tabs, the menu functions. This seems a very high quality language and book. Cheers. |

| Printed | Page 77 Bottom right |
On page 77 of this book (as the attachment) I think the bottom right figure is wrong in correspondence with the sketch value. The first line should be written as “ rotate(-PI/6) “, not “ rotate(-PI/3) “ to get its figure below. |

| 102 Top of code for robot5, chapter 7. |
The file alpine.png is not included in the media.zip downloadable file for example robot5, in chapter 7. I see this has been reported in 2016, it's a simple fix to update a downloadable resources file, there doesn't seem much commitment here. |

| 123 Chapter 12, section Network Data and APIs (page unknown) |
The API call to openweathermap.org, encapsulated in bit.ly/cin-json, doesn't work anymore. |

| 123 Appendix A, section Upppercase and Lowercse |
The discussion of hello vs. Hello, and then rect() vs. Rect(), has both rect calls as just lowercase rect(). Hope I'm not missing something here. It's actually quite a charming typo, ie. a case error in an illustration of how case errors happen :=) |

| 123 Appendix B, Data Types (page unknown, not shown by Safaro) |
A tiny suggestion: the beginner programmers this book is designed for could be mystified by the range of the int and floats shown It could be good to mention that they are the range available in a 32 bit integer, and a 32 bit IEEE float. |
