The Google Web Audio Toolkit lets HTML5 developers create and manipulate sounds using client-side programming. The toolkit, meant to be a sound source for games and other multimedia websites, produces a fairly high-quality sound even in comparison to desktop audio engines.

This talk will demonstrate the various sound sources, generated, pre-recorded and live audio, as manipulated mostly by JavaScript programming. The speaker's purpose in learning this Toolkit is to get back to his original motivation for learning about computers, as well as to develop a better understanding of JavaScript and its related libraries.

Marc Temkin has been programming since his time in Music School where he worked with analog synthesizers in addition to the standard music training.

His professional work includes special projects for radio station WFMT, teaching at Columbia College (Chicago), and staff programming at Northwestern University. His past professional work includes application development for a large in-house bank, hospital admissions, and a long stint at Argonne National Laboratory.

While there will be light refreshments available, feel free to "brown bag" it and bring in food from the outside to eat during the social hour.
