Web browsers are the most common and widely-used platform  for code to run on. In this book Pavel Panchekha and Chris Harrelson describe how they work and how that impacts web developers and other software engineers whose work touches the web. The authors build their own web browser, including rich visual effects, multithreaded architecture, JavaScript APIs, and comprehensive security policies, and explore the challenges, interesting algorithms, and clever optimizations this entails.
