This workshop is an introduction to using modern JavaScript in Max 9. JavaScript is a text-based programming language that can be used to create and manipulate all kinds of data relating to creative coding. Through using the unique aspects of JavaScript in Max, it is possible to create algorithms and generate artworks in ways that would not be possible with Max alone. By using the new v8 engine included in Max 9, you can expand the possibilities of creative audiovisual programming and interactive multimedia experiences. The goal of this workshop is to create a solid grasp of modern JavaScript fundamentals and experiment with its practical application within Max/MSP. By the end, you’ll have gained not only a foundational understanding of JavaScript but also the confidence to incorporate it effectively into your Max/MSP projects.
