description: News, new chapters and blog posts
webMaster: [email protected] (Pavel Panchekha & Chris Harrelson)
item:
- title: Making Content Accessible
link: https://browser.engineering/accessibility.html
pubDate: Fri, 7 Oct 2022, 13:31:00 -0700
description:
Accessibility is an important topic, and often not well
understood. Chapter 14 of Web Browser Engineering explains how
it works, and also how almost every web user benefits from it in
one way or another.
- title: Animating and Compositing
link: https://browser.engineering/animations.html
pubDate: Wed, 26 May 2022, 12:33:00 -0700
description:
Animations make browsers more fun, but they also require solving
a lot of really interesting algorithmic and design challenges to
utilize GPU-accelerated compositing. Find out how in our new
chapter, Animating and Compositing!
- title: Scheduling Tasks and Threads
link: https://browser.engineering/scheduling.html
pubDate: Mon, 14 Feb 2022, 09:55:00 -0700
description:
With a new year and then some more time to actually finish
things, we present a new chapter on Scheduling Tasks and
Threads. This chapter splits the browser into multiple threads,
with threaded raster and scrolling, in only a couple thousand
lines of code.
- title: Adding Visual Effects
link: https://browser.engineering/visual-effects.html
pubDate: Fri, 17 Dec 2021, 17:45:00 -0700
description:
Today we’re releasing a chapter on Adding Visual Effects. This
first chapter on Modern Browsers swaps in modern libraries and
implements some recent web features like blending, stacking
contexts, surfaces, and clipping.
- title: Keeping Data Private
link: https://browser.engineering/security.html
pubDate: Fri, 15 Oct 2021, 16:15:00 -0600
description:
Today we’re releasing a chapter on Keeping Data Private. Cookies
enable a whole economy of personalized web applications—but also
raise issues of security and privacy. New, powerful browser-side
tools can help.
- title: Running Interactive Scripts
link: https://browser.engineering/scripts.html
pubDate: Thu, 16 Sept 2021, 12:49:00 -0600
description:
Today we’re releasing a chapter on Running Interactive Scripts.
Binding a JavaScript engine to our browser—and building the
system for passing data between JavaScript and browser code—makes possible
a whole new world of interactive web applications.
- title: Sending Information to Servers
link: https://browser.engineering/forms.html
pubDate: Fri, 20 Aug 2021, 14:32:00 -0600
description:
Today we’re releasing a chapter on Sending Information to
Servers. In it, our browser becomes an application platform,
starting with a 90s-style guest book. The next few chapters will
explore that theme, building more and more capable web
applications as we go.
- title: Handling Buttons and Links
link: https://browser.engineering/chrome.html
pubDate: Thu, 1 Jul 2021, 18:14:00 -0600
description:
Today we’re releasing a chapter on Handling Buttons and Links.
This is the chapter when the browser really starts surfing the
web. It also becomes a pretty good way to read this book!
- title: Applying User Styles
link: https://browser.engineering/styles.html
pubDate: Sun, 6 Jun 2021 18:49:00 -0600
description:
Today we’re releasing a chapter on Applying User Styles. I hope
you’ll find that building a simple CSS parser and implementing
selector matching and inheritance is interesting, approachable
and fun!
- title: Why Widgets?
link: https://browser.engineering/blog/why-widgets.html
pubDate: Mon, 10 May 2021 11:05:00 -0600
description:
We're working interactive widgets to Web Browser Engineering to
better explain the concepts and to make room for discoveries.
But it's not easy!
- title: History of the Web
link: https://browser.engineering/history.html
pubDate: Mon, 3 May 2021 12:12:00 -0600
description:
Today we’re releasing a new chapter on the History of the Web.
The rest of the book is about how web browsers work, but this
chapter is about why. It’s about the goals and motivations for
the web and for web browsers, which shape the way they work.
- title: Laying Out Pages
link: https://browser.engineering/layout.html
pubDate: Mon, 5 Apr 2021 15:08:00 -0600
description:
We’re releasing Chapter 5. It introduces layout trees, the data
structure at the center of layout. Building, laying out, and
rendering layout trees is how every web page you view is
rendered!
- title: Browsers and the Web
link: https://browser.engineering/intro.html
pubDate: Sat, 6 Mar 2021 14:44:00 -0700
description:
The intro chapter is here! Now you get to find out why this book
was worth writing, mostly in Chris’s words. Plus you’ll learn a
few things about where the web came from and how the sausage is
made.
- title: Constructing the Document Tree
link: https://browser.engineering/html.html
pubDate: Thu, 4 Feb 2021 12:49:00 -0700
description:
Chapter 4 is out! It’s decked out with HTML parsing and error
handling, and starts building out the core data structures of
the browser. Plus, it has tips for leveraging implicit tags to
make your HTML cleaner and simpler!
- title: Code Outlines
link: https://browser.engineering/blog/outlines.html
pubDate: Tue, 5 Jan 2021 12:28:00 -0700
description:
I've added a code outline tool to help you see the
intermediate-level structure of a web browser. As Chris and I
write more chapters, it'll become more and more useful.
- title: Formatting Text
link: https://browser.engineering/text.html
pubDate: Fri, 11 Dec 2020 16:47:00 -0700
description:
Chapter 3 is ready. Read about typography, baselines, and tags!
Our browser lines up text with style! My favorite aside is the
Michigan Supreme Court case on font sizes.
- title: Why Python?
link: https://browser.engineering/blog/why-python.html
pubDate: Fri, 18 Sept 2020 10:30:00 -0600
description:
Why is Web Browser Engineering in Python? In short, Python is
popular, readable, and has access to standard system APIs.
- title: Introducing Chris Harrelson
link: https://browser.engineering
pubDate: Sun, 30 Aug 2020 11:06:00 -0600
description:
Have you noticed that the byline on https://browser.engineering
has changed? Chris Harrelson will be joining Web Browser
Engineering as a co-author. He's already working to make WBE
deeper and more realistic based on his experience on the Chrome
team.
- title: Drawing to the Screen
link: https://browser.engineering/graphics.html
pubDate: Thu, 13 Aug 2020 09:43:00 -0600
description:
Chapter 2 is ready. Read about window handles, display lists,
and events. Our browser creates a window, draws text to it, and
tells a story about a monkey. (My favorite part is the aside on
Chinese line layout.)
- title: Typos and Comments
link: https://browser.engineering/blog/feedback.html
pubDate: Wed, 5 Aug 2020 12:33:00 -0600
description:
I've written some code to crowdsource typo corrections and
comments from readers. Looking forward to seeing your feedback!
- title: The Beginning
link: https://browser.engineering/blog/beginning.html
pubDate: Fri, 24 Jul 2020 17:26:00 -0600
description:
A quick backstory behind the book, and my plan for writing it.
- title: Downloading Web Pages
link: https://browser.engineering/http.html
pubDate: Fri, 24 Jul 2020 17:25:00 -0600
description:
Chapter 1 is about URLs, sockets, and HTTP requests. Read about
how a browser creates a network connection, what the OS does to
help, and how it requests specific web pages.
