Choose your own adventure
Session Type: Talk
Join us for an interactive adventure where you control the journey. We’ll build game-like experiences, use SignalR for real-time multiplayer interaction, tackle bugs and challenges, and discover how to make apps feel truly alive.
Remember those choose your own adventure books where every decision could send the story in a completely different direction? In this session, we’re bringing that idea to life — and you’re going to be part of the game.
Together, we’ll build and play our way through an interactive adventure. Along the way, the audience will make decisions, shape the journey, unlock new areas, encounter unexpected challenges, and perhaps even take on a final boss.
But there’s a catch: if an entire room is going to control one game, we’re going to need some technology to make that possible.
As our adventure unfolds, we’ll explore how to create engaging game-like experiences, how SignalR can provide real-time multiplayer interaction, and how techniques such as shared state, animations, connectivity and responsive UI can make our applications feel truly alive.
Rather than simply talking about the technology, we’ll use it to power the session itself. Your choices will influence what happens next.
So choose your path carefully.
There may be bugs.
There will probably be goblins.
