Workshop 1: Dynamic Cast: Web UIs for Music Apps
In this workshop we’ll cover the fundamentals of building web UIs for music apps and plug-ins using modern front-end development techniques.
This will be a self-contained workshop aiming to be accessible to all levels of learning - all elements used in the practical part of the workshop will be thoroughly explained in the introduction.
