Evolving JavaScript: Cultivating Genetic Algorithms for Creative Coding by Kevin Maes

Описание: When was the moment you first realized that coding was pure joy? We all need a well-deserved break from feature releases, meetings, bug fixes, tech debt, and 10X burnout! Join me in exploring delightful, interactive experiences, inspired by nature, that we as JavaScript developers can create with our everyday coding skills. We’ll learn about genetic algorithms, what they’re good for, and how to code with them, including a demo. Adding state machines and generative art into the mix, our small step into the world of AI programming will enable us to produce problem solving agents that are as intelligent as they are beautiful!
