If you are a frontend Ninja and thinking that the browser is limiting what you can build then you’re in for a treat. Yahoo!’s BrowserPlus team came in for a rescue and gave the world an open source project that extends the browser’s functionality to embed your c++ libraries in it and interact with it using JS or even Actionscript using External Interface or just TCP/IP sockets.
This is how the BrowserPlus guys describe their product:
“BrowserPlus is a “Browser Plugin Abstraction” that allows you to write and deploy functionality to end user devices that augments what is possible from browser-based javascript.
BrowserPlus provides mechanisms to deploy and update these new plugins (we call them “services”), and makes it much simpler to produce services with wide end-user platform support. Our goal is to breathe new life into web plugins of today, and make a whole lot more possible on the web.

I will be posting about the little project I am building using BrowserPlus.
