They are defined as a tightly coupled collection of JavaScript and CSS files.

1in the sense of "HTML5 markup, CSS3, and Javascript". 2 One of his key points is that "when garbage collection has five times as much memory as required, its runtime performance matches or slightly exceeds that of explicit memory management" but "in a memory constrained environment garbage collection performance degrades exponentially".
This browser has its own implementation of the JavaScript engine called V8 with major performance improvements in the JavaScript garbage collection mechanism, which efficiently reuses browser-side memory.
To nerd out a bit, I'm going to be building it using a JavaScript MVC (backbone.js) that reads static json files of past contests and turns all of the entries into a collection of interactive slideshows.
