Talk Description
Phaser, It's Not Just a Phase, Mom - A brief overview of Phaser and the processes I used going from React JavaScript to just Phaser.

Why ‘1’ == 1: From JavaScript to Quantum Tunneling - The classic JS quandary, but taken maybe farther than you’ve ever considered it before. I was curious why the loose equality in JS works the way it does, and investigating this thread took me on a journey through language specs, parsers, compilers, c++, binary representations, and the physics of electrons inside computer hardware.
