http://www.anothercaffeinatedday.com/blog/default/2007/09/09/How-a-web-browser-works.html <p>Holy Chicken Necks!</p> <p>Dave Hyatt, of WebKit fame, has posted some excellent articles on how a web browser actually works behind the scenes on things like <a href="http://webkit.org/blog/118/webcore-rendering-v-floats/">floats</a>, <a href="http://webkit.org/blog/117/webcore-rendering-iv-absolutefixed-and-relative-positioning/">positioning</a> and <a href="http://webkit.org/blog/116/webcore-rendering-iii-layout-basics/">more</a>, at <a href="http://webkit.org/blog/">webkit.org</a>. The code gymnastics that a properly rendering browser has to perform for implementing complex CSS has always been &#8220;magic&#8221; to me. Dave gives us a peek behind the curtain of the magic show that is Safari.</p> <p>I don&#8217;t following the WebKit blog enough so I just caught the posts, but I love this kind of stuff.</p> en http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/tech/rss blojsom v3.3 Sun, 9 Sep 2007 13:46:49 +0000 /penquin/ caffeinated@anothercaffeinatedday.com caffeinated@anothercaffeinatedday.com
