At the PDC today, in addition to demonstrating some of the progress on performance and interoperable standards, we showed how IE and Windows will make the power of PC hardware available to web developers in the browser. Specifically, we demonstrated hardware-accelerated rendering of all graphics and text in web pages, something that other browsers don’t do today. Web site developers will see performance gains and other benefits without having to re-write their sites. Performance Progress. For example, two news sites might look similar to a user but have very different performance characteristics. The chart below shows how much time different sites spends in different subsystems of IE. Note that this chart shows the percentages of total time spent in each subsystem, not relative time between sites. Standards Progress. Early look at the Script Engine

Microsoft Winning Fans Early with Internet Explorer 9 Preview - Earlier this week Microsoft unveiled a preview of the engine behind its next-generation Web browser, Internet Explorer (IE) 9. Microsoft is still diligently working to convince many customers to make the switch from the archaic IE6 to the current IE8, but the march of development never stops so Microsoft is already hard at work on the next version as well. Justin Saint Clair, Internet Explorer program manager at Microsoft, wrote in a post on the IEBlog "The Internet Explorer Platform Preview is a light-weight frame around the core IE platform which includes the rendering and layout, object model, parsing, and script engines. Saint Clair clarified "We will update [the Platform Preview] approximately every 8 weeks on the road to Beta. In other words, this is not a beta release of the IE9 browser. Toward that end, the IE9 Platform Preview seems to be quite successful thus far. Two areas where Microsoft has had consistent issues are compliance with Web standards, and speed.
Yes, You Can Use HTML 5 Today! The blogosphere was jerked into excitement when Google gave a sneak preview of its new service, Google Wave. Only the select few have an account, but there’s an 80-minute video about it on YouTube for the rest of us. The service is an HTML 5 app, and so HTML 5 has gone from being too far away to care about to today’s hot topic. There have been many changes to the HTML 5 landscape since my colleague, Lachlan Hunt’s 2007 article on A List Apart, A Preview of HTML 5. Let’s see what’s happening in the world of HTML 5. What Is It? To some, it’s an outrageous attempt by browser manufacturers to foist what they want onto developers. The reason that opinion is so divided is that HTML 5 is more than just a markup syntax for documents, like HTML 4 is. Markup We’ll start by thinking about marking up a typical blog today. Currently, there are no ways in HTML 4 to mark up these elements in a semantic fashion – that is, HTML 4 offers no footer or header elements of its own. <! header and footer nav article
Online Speed Reading tools and software Simply start by clicking on the Play button on the left. Reading is that one activity that we do every day but we don't really practice. Most people learn the basics of reading in kindergarten and never graduate to the next levels. You are probably using the same basic rudimental tools and techniques that you learned when you were 6. The average American person reads at an average speed of 180 to 240 words per minute and has done so since he was 16 years old. Does it make sense that we hit our best performance at age 16 and that we don't improve much after that? Keep in mind less than 10% read at 400 words per minute and less than 1% faster than 600. Have you ever wished you could take one of those costly speed reading courses? The problem with those courses is that you have to keep practicing those techniques until they become second nature. That's the goal of this site. We are here to keep you focused and to help you improve your speed reading everyday. What is sub-vocalization?
JavaScript Magazine Blog for JSMag Listen to this week’s podcast (September 9, 2011) Patterns For Large-Scale JavaScript Application Architecture Patterns For Large-Scale JavaScript Application Architecture is a lengthy article by Addy Osmani detailing some basic principles of writing a large-scale JavaScript application. It’s inspired by a classic Nicholas Zakas talk outlining some of the same principles (hey, I think I remember listening to that talk live!). Addy has some short-attention-spanned (and “weekly roundup” people such as myself) in mind as he gives a tweet-sized summary: Decouple app. architecture w/module,facade & mediator patterns. The basic idea is that a webpage is a collection of modules, some of which can (and do) talk to each other. The basic solution is decoupling through a pub/sub system. You may already have experience with loose decoupling in JavaScript in other ways. Deferreds are also another practical use of loose coupling that you may already be familiar with.
