I’ve been working on Lab 1: Firefox Performance Testing – I was assigned Chrome Experiments numbers 101-110. This was the first time I’ve really worked with Minefield (last time I managed to build it and break it right away, then that was it) and it was also the first time I’ve really tested out Chrome (or Chromium).
I never really cared to try out Google Chrome – I had Firefox. From this lab, I have re-learned a valuable lesson and received one hell of a first impression:
- It reminded me why I should be testing out new applications, regardless of how much I like what I’m using right now. I’ll admit that I got lazy. I have a new respect for Google Chrome – it ran the Chrome Experiments so beautifully.
- I don’t know what I was expecting from the Chrome Experiments, but I was blown away. I have heard Dave talk about the canvas tag, HTML5 and JavaScript numerous times and I though they sounded wonderful, but I had yet to really look into them. I was so impressed with some of the Chrome Experiments that I started looking for people to show them to. Of the Chrome Experiments, my favourites (so far) are Multiuser Sketchpad and Canvas Cycle, though I found all of the experiments I tested very exciting.
I didn’t expect to enjoy myself as much as I did. I know there’s more to the lab, so I’ll be back when that’s started.
