I spent the past month working on a browser engine from scratch in C++ following @BrowserBook. Browsers have always been a black box to me and I've really enjoyed understanding the components that make up these complex operating systems. I'm around 40% done and plan to continue!

@BrowserBook Just for your information, The Korean version of this book is currently available for pre-order. I think that the Korean version comes with a much lovelier cover. :) hanbit.co.kr/store/books/loo… yes24.com/product/goods/1534…

We've been reading the final proof of Web Browser Engineering. I'm amazed: it is 512 pages long, way longer than it felt while writing it. Publication is getting closer by the day!

Code report: Day 5 Browsey: Implement the chapter 5 of @BrowserBook. Now the logic has become very complicated. So, I decided to read this book in a research paper way. DSA: Solved the 3 problem. I get the more clarity in my head for dsa now. Logic will get better with time.

After my last post, many folks reached out to understand in-depth technical details of browsers. I would suggest going through browser.engineering/ book. It is an incredible resource and gives a structured approach. Highly recommended!

Wanna learn how to build a browser from scratch? Check out browser.engineering/ by @pavpanchekha and @chrishtr 🤓🌐📘 In this (free) book, you build a "basic but complete web browser, from networking to JavaScript, in a couple thousand lines of Python"
