Introducing Magenta.js and TensorFlow.js

In the previous chapters, we've covered Magenta in Python, its usage, and its inner workings. We'll now be looking at Google's Magenta.js, a smaller implementation of Magenta in JavaScript.

A Magenta.js application is easy to use and deploy since it executes in the browser. Developing and deploying a web application is easy: all you need is an HTML file and a web server, and your application is available for the whole world to see and use. This is a major advantage of making a browser-based application, since not only does it enable us to create our own music generation application easily, but it also makes it easy to use it collaboratively.
