JFall NL, links of the talk Looking at Music, an experiment with Kotlin, JavaFX, MIDI, and Virtual Threads

These are the links of the presentation “Looking at Music, an experiment with Kotlin, JavaFX, MIDI, and Virtual Threads” of Thursday November 7th, 16:55-17:45, Room 2.

When a nerdy dad and music-playing son join forces and start experimenting with music and code, some nice things can happen. Did you ever present your music piece in a business dashboard with charts? Did you know that the FXGL game library can be used to generate a piano with fireworks? Let’s look at music with the MelodyMatrix application and guide you through the process of how a small experiment turned into a full-blown project.

This is the first Devoxx talk with a live piano performance by a 14-year-old musician-coder, leading to a battle between human and machine! Who is the best piano player? The musician or a few thousand Virtual Threads? And how far can we push the app’s performance to send ByteArrays to an LED strip to react to the music?

Topics in this talk: Kotlin, Java, JavaFX, Gradle, FXGL, MIDI, Vaadin, GitHub Actions, JDeploy,…
