The demoscene is an international computer art
subculture focused on producing demos: self-
contained, sometimes extremely small, computer
programs that produce audio-visual
presentations. The purpose of a demo is to show
off programming, visual art, and musical skills.
Demos and other demoscene productions are
shared at festivals known as demoparties, voted
on by those who attend, and released online.

Let’s talk about you now.
Why is it important
to keep learning?
Infrastructure
Backend
Frontend
How do you keep up?

The better you get,
the better it gets.
If you don’t understand,
don’t doubt yourself.
Ask for an explanation.
Have you ever
shared your knowledge?
Do you think it’s fun
to share knowledge?
Must I share knowledge?

Sharing knowledge
