Final Tips and Tricks

• Use Canvas, not DIVs please!

– A independent VM that accelerates Canvas let’s you

use the Webview for less time-sensitive DOM content

• Use SVG whenever possible

• Be intelligent about memory loading

• Beware of ineffective garbage collection mgmt.

• Don’t Give Away Your Source Code!
