Google I/O 2012 - The Web Platform's Cutting Edge

Dimitri Glazkov, Alex Komoroske

From embeds to widgets to managing complex applications, you constantly face the need for better componentization as a web developer. Many-a-lines of JavaScript have been written to alleviate this problem -- poorly. But help is on the way. The web platform is gaining a powerful new set of capabilities designed to better help you build robust, reusable, and packageable components. We'll cover what they do, their status, and how you can start playing with these powerful emerging technologies today. Most importantly, we'll show you how to get involved and help influence their direction as they mature.

CSS variables? So Google Sass?

[Victor Zamanian]

Hmm this was a while ago, but I think I meant style "variables", not properties. Maybe. Yeah, I think that's what I meant.

[Remco Peggeman]

You can't? You can even get those style properties via the browser. And if the browser must be able to read it then the user will too.

[Victor Zamanian]

If anybody has any idea, please answer this question for me:

If CSS variables are used to expose styling of templates, how can template authors use CSS variables within the template without exposing those style properties to the template user?

cottage cheese in your lasagna? officially the moment when your analogy sucks, when it becomes untasty and non-factual. i will be focusing on your sad disgusting lasagna for the next 45 minutes. thanks.

Is JavaFX that much diffident?

It uses FXML instead of HTML, Java Instead of JavaScript and good old CSS for advanced styling. Number of languages you have to learn is quite similar...

This really solve a lot of problems. Hope this will come soon in the browser, before I get tired of them!
