[chuck-users] anybody still use this thing?

[JP Yépez]

Hi Colton,

Welcome! Glad you’re trying ChucK out. As far as I understand, quite a few universities have already included it in their courses, and it seems like the community is growing quite a bit. 

As Diana said, the e-book is a great resource, and you will also be able to find a lot of information in the built-in examples or online. Also, if you’re interested in the Kadenze course from her link, you should definitely check it out; Kadenze courses are constantly running in an adaptive schedule mode, so you can just start whenever and learn at your own pace.

Finally… Ask away, and don’t be afraid to include your code whenever you ask any questions. This will make it easier for everyone to understand what you’re trying to do, and you will get a lot more ideas to play around with.
Have fun!


JP

It's very much still a popular audio programming language. There is an online course (which is currently out of session, but will be back in session over the coming months). It will be available at the following link: https://www.kadenze.com/courses/introduction-to-programming-for-musicians-and-digital-artists/info <https://www.kadenze.com/courses/introduction-to-programming-for-musicians-and-digital-artists/info>. An in-depth book has recently been written by the designers of ChucK; there is an e-book. It is available here: https://www.manning.com/books/programming-for-musicians-and-digital-artists <https://www.manning.com/books/programming-for-musicians-and-digital-artists>. This mailing list is also quite a useful tool for anyone needing assistance or needing to report bugs. There is documentation available online, and there are some great example files. The example files (alongside the book) would be a great first step in learning the language.
