Talk will be in English and topic will be #Development

HTML, CSS, and JS are everywhere — on mobile apps, desktop apps, and smart appliances of all shapes and sizes. What if I told you that they are in “AAA” PC/console games too? Join this talk to see how we use web tech to build game UIs for the popular online multiplayer game, World of Tanks.

Prabashwara (or “Bash” as he is more affectionately known) worked as a frontend developer building mobile and web apps with React and React Native before making the somewhat unconventional switch to building game UIs at Wargaming Prague. He is a techie at heart who tinkers with computers and electronics every chance he gets (currently, his automated flat has developed a mind of its own). Outside of tech, he is a keen traveler and amateur photographer.
