Free Course: Fun With Web Audio

You may have used the audio tag to play sound in the past. While that works fine for simply playing a sound, it doesn't give us much control over the quality or timing of the playback.

In our new short course,Fun With Web Audio, you'll learn aboutthe Web Audio API, a powerful new way of playing and manipulating sound in the browser with JavaScript.

You can complete the whole course in less than an hour of viewing time, so you can easily fit it in around your other commitments. And best of all, it’s free.
