Hi @SableRaf Could you elaborate on what steps you’d like me to take for this? I’m interested in working on it.

Thanks for your interest in taking on this issue @rishabdev2997! Just a heads-up—this is a pretty big task, and I don’t expect one person to solve the whole thing. But you can definitely make progress by going through the list of dead links and finding alternatives that are working.

The book section has some low-hanging fruit, like the Amazon links, which should be relatively easy to fix. For any others that don’t have obvious replacements, we'll have to handle them case by case.

FYI: I generated the list using this script and turned it into a list of todos with this script which live on a separate branch for now.

Feel free to reach out if you have any questions along the way!

Note: it seems like this list is external dead links only. In https://processing.org/tutorials/text I encountered this internal dead link: https://processing.org/learning/trig/ (And yes, I will fix this one in a PR that I will do for the other thing :-))
