Web Programming for Sound and Music

The course systematically covers technologies, algorithms, and data structures for representing and managing musical and audio information in web environments. The goal is to provide the necessary tools to address and solve both theoretical and practical problems, ranging from the development of web applications for computational musicology to the implementation of media players with advanced features.

By the end of the course, students will be able to design and implement browser applications for acquiring, generating, manipulating, and storing audio information. Specifically, they will master the following technologies: JavaScript control of HTML5 audio and video elements, Web Audio API, Web Speech API, and Web MIDI API.
