Lets build a browser
We'll build a toy browser engine using Javascript able to parse a subset of HTML and CSS and generate an image from it.
This will be a series of 4 workshops based on a blog post series by Matt Brubeck: http://limpet.net/mbrubeck/2014/08/08/toy-layout-engine-1.html
We'll re-implement the node.js version of the Robinson browser: https://github.com/yanhick/robinson.js

Those workshops are for front-end developers wishing to know more about browsers internals.
