+Web browsers have evolved. From their humble beginnings as simple HTML +rendering engines they have grown and evolved into rich application +platforms. This talk will start with the fundamentals: how a browser +creates an on-screen representation of the resources downloaded from +the network. (Boring, right? But we have to start somewhere.) From +there we'll get into the really exciting stuff: the latest innovations +in Web browsers and how those innovations enable — even encourage — +developers to build more complex applications than ever before. You'll +see real-world examples of people building technologies on top of +these "simple rendering engines" that seemed impossible a short time +ago. + +Bio of the speaker: +Ehsan Akhgari has contributed to the Mozilla project for more than 5 +years. He has worked on various parts of Firefox, including the user +interface and the rendering engine. He originally implemented Private +Browsing in Firefox. Right now he's focusing on the editor component +in the Firefox engine. +

+ There will be 4 more code parties this term. +
