Slide
WE DEVELOP DIGITAL PROJECT TOGETHER WITH YOU.
Start With Why
Why should you learn to build a Rendering Engine?
Let me tell you a story...
None

application on top of an old Java Framework...
None
We couldn’t add new dependencies...
None
The only available libraries were jQuery and underscore
None
We delivered the project, but our team was unhappy

How to decide if it’s a good solution?
