Number 2

Prize: One downloadable e-book of choice by O'Reilly		 In the past, JavaScript code on a Web page could not access files on the user computer due to security reasons. So applications required the user to select and upload their files to the server to access their contents.

Nowadays, it is possible to access files selected by the user from his computer without having to upload them to the server, using this HTML5 FileReader API.

This object takes advantage of this API to access the files of the user computer without depending on a server to upload the files.
