Adventures in Rendering Off the Main Thread

Reduce, Reuse, Recycle is a mantra most folks are familiar with. When it comes to web development, I preach a slightly different mantra: Reduce: the amount of JavaScript required to build your HTML Reuse: what the platform already provides Offload: expensive or time-consuming tasks to web workers Attendees of this talk will learn why it is important to rely on something other than JavaScript being available and how to start from a working base. How to re-use new platform features to reduce their JS footprint, and finally, how to use web workers and other platform features to prevent the main thread of the browser from begin blocked.
