WebGL in Typescript – getting started with AwayJS
A look at how Typescript can leverage WebGL to allow a cleaner approach to accelerated GPU graphics. We’ll use the new framework AwayJS to get setup, look at code examples and cover several workflows for assets, including a brand new plugin for Flash Pro allowing 2D animation exports.

Alvin Ourad (@alvinsight, Goodboy Digital, pixi.js)
Alvin will speak about how the widespread usage of WebGL has exploded thanks to its increasing ubiquity and will touch on how they leverage it at Goodboy Digital to add an extra level of visual finesse and fun, and probably a sneak peak at the new version of pixi.js.

Benjamin Blundell (@secti0n9, Section 9)
“WebGL minus Web” – This talk consists of three short demos of WebGL projects that were designed to be used outside of a traditional web-browser (at least partially). Each one caters to a very different audience, with very different engineering concerns and development cultures affecting the build along the way.
