It’s Official: Bungee Connect Now Supports Google Chrome

September 5, 2008 at 7:00 pm · Filed under BCDN Updates, Blog, PaaS ·Tagged , , , , , ,

Today, Bungee Labs announced our official move to support Google’s new browser, Google Chrome. See “Bungee Connect: First Platform-as-a-Service to Offer ‘Write Once, Run Anywhere’ Support for All Major Browsers, Including Google Chrome” for details.

Shortly after Google released the Chrome beta, our test team went to work to identify exactly what worked and what didn’t. They found that Google Chrome loaded and ran Bungee-powered applications with only a few issues, which we detail below. Read the rest of this entry »

JavaScript Biggest Threat to Silverlight?

September 5, 2008 at 2:13 pm · Filed under BCDN Updates, Blog ·Tagged , , , , , ,

In light of the recent announcement about Google Chrome, I found a couple articles particularly interesting:

If indeed Microsoft sees JavaScript as Silverlight’s biggest competitive threat, and Mozilla and Google are apparently squaring off for an arms race around JavaScript performance, this bodes extremely well for the future of web applications built on standards-based JavaScript.

Bungee Connect in Google Chrome

September 2, 2008 at 4:27 pm · Filed under BCDN Updates, Blog ·Tagged , , , ,

The first question we at Bungee Labs thought when we read the news about Google’s nifty new browser, Google Chrome, was: I wonder how it will do running Bungee Connect?

Google chose to use WebKit, the same rendering engine as Safari, which we support for Bungee Connect. So far, so good:

But they also state that they chose to create a wholly new Javascript engine. Hrmmm…

In our early tests, we have found that there are at least a few controls that exhibit issues. Mostly, issues seem to be little interaction annoyances, such as having to click on a Tree control a second time before you can interact with it.

So, we make no formal announcement of support for Chrome yet (Come on! Chrome was just introduced and is still in beta!), but the Bungee Boys are smiling.
