Posted by benny in FreeWare on May 21st, 2009 | one response

A friend of mine and I are planning on creating a web browser that will be able to be downloaded by the masses and enjoyed just like other web browsers. I just want to feel how it is like to make a web browser. If anyone has any experience can you please tell me what knowledge/skills I would need and the software/applications I would need to create a web browser. I would appreciate if you could be descriptive and explain alot to me. Wish me luck =D

    The only software you’ll need is a compiler. You’d want to program it in C# or C++. You’ll need a detailed knowledge of Windows programming, particularly with how to manipulate the display of windows and windows elements. You’ll also need a thorough understanding of HTML, XML, CSS, ASP, PHP, the IP protocols, and all the other web protocols used to display web pages.
    Honestly, and don’t take it as an insult, its the type of endeavor where if you have to ask this sort of question, you really aren’t knowledgeable enough to do it. I’ve been a professional C++/C# applications developer for more than 10 years, and it would intimidate me.
