Web Platform: An Inside Look at What’s New for Microsoft EdgeHTML, ChakraCore, F12 Tools, and Microsoft Edge Extensions

In 2015, just a couple of weeks before the 20th anniversary of Internet Explorer 1.0, we broke from the past with our brand new browser for Windows 10, Microsoft Edge. Just five months later, there were over 200 million devices with browsers and apps powered by EdgeHTML across PCs, tablets, phones, and Xbox One. We focused on key priorities of interoperability, compatibility, and security. In 2016, our web platform continues to advance at a rapid pace with a focus on browser extensions, accessibility, fundamentals, and next generation web standards. In this session, get a hands-on look at what’s new for developers. We’ll cover how to build with new technologies, such as the Web Speech API, F12 accessibility developer tools, the open source ChakraCore engine, and Microsoft Edge browser extensions.
