Chromium Tech Talks

Wednesday, April 29, 2009

Since starting work at Google, I've formed a deep appreciation for the number of high quality talks we have access to here (both technical and not). Reading code and documentation is pretty much unavoidable when you're a developer, but you really can't beat hearing directly from the expert's mouth on topics that you're interested in.
Last Wednesday, 5 Chromium experts gave mini tech talks on subjects ranging from the network stack to hacking on WebKit. Armed with 2 video cameras, a microphone, and a whiteboard, we did the best we could to capture these talks and make them available to Chromium developers around the world. Whether you're a seasoned Chromium contributor or just getting started, I think these videos have a lot to offer.
Here's a rundown of the videos:
Darin Fisher talking about Chromium's multi-process architectureBrett Wilson talking about the various layers of ChromiumDimitri Glazkov talking about hacking on WebKitBen Goodger talking about Views (and how to write good tests for them)Wan-Teh Chang and Eric Roman talking about Chromium's network stack (and its history)
I hope these are just the first of many tech talks we can offer to you, the Chromium community.

Guest post: 3D graphics in the browser

Tuesday, April 21, 2009

Today, we shared with the open source community an early version of O3D, a new shader-based API for 3D graphics in the browser. We are excited about this release: we believe that a 3D API for the web will allow web developers to create powerful, immersive 3D apps, that are comparable to the experience offered by client applications and game consoles. This will make the web better, not to mention more fun!
O3D is still at an early stage and is not a part of the Chromium code base. However, we hope that, combined with projects like Mozilla's Canvas 3D, it will encourage the discussion within the graphics and web communities about a new open web standard on 3D graphics for the web. With JavaScript (and browsers) becoming faster every day, we believe it is the right time for such a standard to emerge. To help you participate in this broader discussion, Google has created a forum where you can submit suggestions on what features a 3D API for the web should have.
If you are interested to learn more about O3D, you can visit us at code.google.com/apis/o3d.
