Google releasing JavaScript programming tools
Published: 06 Nov 2009 09:32 GMT
With a project called Closure Tools, Google plans on Thursday to start helping developers who aspire to match the company's proficiency in creating websites and web applications.
Google is a strong proponent of using JavaScript to write web-based programs, part of its web-centric ethos. Indeed, the company has pushed the language to its limits with services such as Gmail and Google Docs, and it developed its Chrome browser in part to enable JavaScript programs to run faster.
But writing, debugging and optimising heavy-duty JavaScript can be difficult — in part because a given JavaScript program sometimes works differently on different browsers. Google's open-source Closure Tools project is an attempt to help with some of these challenges.
