Google Gears, makes web applications work Offline

01.14.2010 · Posted in Google, online ad trafficking

Google Gears is very much in existence for sometime now, so the web masters and web programmers must be pretty much aware of it.But people around in web marketing, tech operation areas might not know it, so thought to write few lines about it.I felt it is vital to know about how web applications interact too on a very macro level.

Google Gears is an Open source project launched by Google approximately a couple of years back.The objective of the project is to make Web applications work even when the computer goes offline.And the applications would go into auto sync mode when the computer gets online later.So the idea is to make Online applications work more like desktop applications

However Google has decided  to end Google Gears with the evolution of HTML5, which incorporates many of the Google gears functionalities.However Google says it would continue to support Google gears as many sites use this and not to hinder.But Google  recommends sites to move to HTML5 moving forward.
