Introduction to the Metaverse for Software Engineers

In this tech talk, we go over everything you need to know about coding for the metaverse (as a software engineer). We start off by defining what the metaverse is and how it is related to 3D programming. Then we take a look at the state of 3D programming in the tech industry and how FAANG companies are getting involved with the metaverse. Finally, we look at JavaScript frameworks that help you build 3D experiences on the web like Aframe, Three.js, Babylon.js, and Play Canvas.
