About the course

If you’re a developer who uses Google Chrome, develop extensions, or build websites and applications which are often viewed with Chrome, you’ll want to take a look at this course. In “Exploring Chrome”, Tim Evko and Chris Ward will take you through the details of Chrome extensions and Chrome browser performance. Chrome extensions are covered from their inception all the way through their development. You’ll get a look at the usefulness of extensions, the particulars of manifest files, and some instruction on how extensions interact with browser content. You’ll also get some focus on Chrome’s performance from a development perspective. Chrome’s developer tools can be harnessed to inspect network requests, errors, and more, and Chrome Audits are useful ways to find performance bottlenecks. Take a look today and get going on the road to becoming a Chrome developer expert! Learn more about building performant websites with our book Lean Websites. This book no only covers theory in website performance but also provides you with practical real-world tips that you can apply to your website today.
