Hi,

I am an artist new to code. I am using Shiffman’s Learning Processing (2nd Ed.) to teach myself. Throughout the book there are “test” your knowledge and “fill-in-the-blank” exercises.

Does anyone know if there is a complete set of “answers”? It would be very helpful to be able to check if your responses are correct.

In the Introduction, p.XV, under Write in this Book, it says “_All the fill-in the blank exercises have answers on the book’s website ([http://learningprocessing.com](http://learningprocessing.com))_”.

But I have not found answers on this site. Downloading the GitHub repository provides the verbatim text from book, no answers. For example, answers to the True/False Exercise 5-4, on p.77 are not provided at the link for that exercise:

[http://learningprocessing.com/exercises/chp05/exercise-05-04-boolean-exp](http://learningprocessing.com/exercises/chp05/exercise-05-04-boolean-exp)

I’d love to find the answers, or, a site similar to W3’s for HTML/CSS, but where you can quiz your understanding of the Processing language! Any ideas?

Thank you!

I too am new to code and using the Shiffman book @r8th, and had that same question.

I have not found an answer key. However I do watch and re-watch his tutorials which are connected to the book on his youtube channel. While helpful, they don’t provide specific answers to exercises within his book.

Some exercises I struggle through and finally get the answer. Some exercises I do not. While I do believe there is value in the struggle, this can really slow down the learning process to a crawl at times.

Recently, I started asking questions in this forum, and have found the responses very helpful. D Shiffman also has a patreon page where subscribers can ask questions there as well.

thanks for your message, @debxyz.

his tutorials are of course amazing, but I agree that not having answers to problems in the book slows progress.

thanks, best wishes in your adventures with code!

[This site](https://funprogramming.org/) is also awesome for learning Processing.
