Beyond The Wall


Jank is the enemy. Our humble browsers, for historical reasons, put their primary JavaScript execution and UI rendering on the same thread. This causes sadness. Enter Web Workers! I will cover the basics of Web Workers, and go on to show how to use existing programming patterns to ease communication between the main thread and the Web Worker environment. Lastly, I will demo a rich web application that keeps the app’s logic off the main thread, and the UI buttery.
