The slides and video for "Life of a Pixel" are now publically available.

This talk is an introduction to Chromium's rendering pipeline. It traces all the steps from web content to displayed pixels, and concretizing high-level concepts with pointers to important classes and data structures in the codebase.

I hope it is useful to new Blink / Chromium contributors, or anyone who wants to understand how rendering works.

I've also added these links to the background reading section of http://dev.chromium.org/developers/design-documents.

Cheers,

Steve

This is super helpful! Thanks for sharing. I wish I read it when I first started in Chrome. :)

Any resource where I can get to know about "life of a pixel" on an Android applications perspective instead of browser perspective?
