Dylan Beattie, programmer, musician, and creator of the Rockstar programming language, delivers an entertaining look at the Art of Code. He starts out with an interesting presentation of Conway's Game of Life, talks about Mandelbrot's set, and a lot more including esoteric languages and quines—programs that print their own source code.
He wraps up with a musical serenade and talks about algorithmic rock songs. Check out his site, codewithrockstar.com, for more on the Rockstar programming language.
It's all quite entertaining as well as informative. I enjoyed it.
