Hello

I'm new to software development, and am still in the process of
learning C and C++, but I would like to better understand the actual
structure of the Chromium Browser's Source Code...

Does anybody know where I might find a Structure Chart for this, or at
least a comprehensive listing of how each of the modules relate to
each other?

Thanks!

Hi Smith,

Here are a lot of good reading materials for learning how Chromium works:
They are roughly ordered so the first 10 or so are really useful for understanding the different parts of the codebase.

Much of the browser (gui and multi-process) code is contained in the chrome/ directory.
WebKit (the html rendering engine) is in third_party/WebKit
There is a lot of utility code in base/ and net/.
