Description:

The SproutCore framework has evolved over the past five years to be an extremely high-performance framework that focuses on making it possible to build native-like applications in the browser.

This means handling problems like working with extremely large data-sets, inconsistent connectivity, and complex DOMs. Lately, it has meant figuring out how to properly use new browser features that can make a big difference to perceived performance, like hardware acceleration.

In this talk, Yehuda will cover some of the techniques that SproutCore has used historically to enable extremely complex applications to perform well in the browser, as well as what new technologies the team is looking at to leverage the latest browser technologies in building compelling content for the web.
