Lightning Talk: Improving User Experience With Web Workers

Please log in to watch this conference skillscast.

Web browsers use single threaded JavaScript to perform tasks; business logic, layout, reflows, and garbage collection. This means complex and heavy JavaScript functions can block the main thread from rendering. This results in low frame rates and low interactivity for things like scrolling and input, providing a poor user experience. In this talk James will explore the idea of using Web Workers to free the main thread for rendering for performant and smooth web applications.
