Drawing on 25 years of experience as a professional musician and record producer, this will be a beginner focused talk introducing the use of Scala.js and the web audio api for building Scala powered Web Audio Applications.
This talk follows on from my 2023 talk 'Sounds of Structure' where I discussed modelling music with ADT's, and will pick up from that by focusing more on playing Audio in the browser where I'll cover the following:
- The Web Audio application space.
- Wrapping a JavaScript music and audio library with Scala.js
- Building a Scala.js synthesizer from scratch
- Me pushing buttons on my computer and making a plethora of sounds (from the computer)
In this talk, we will demonstrate some elegant applications of functional programming in Scala, with even more elegant visual results - all with live code and real-time output.
I propose that we can extend Mirrors to operations, and use the most natural DSL of all - plain trait definitions.
In this talk, we will take a tour around the `error` function. Starting from the simple use-cases and ending up with sophisticated yet developer-friendly error messages.
In this talk, I will show how you can use ScalaPy to leverage an excellent NLP library like Spacy, minimizing your discomfort of using Python, and enhancing your comfort with Scala 3 for the remaining parts of your application.
