Last week I had the pleasure of speaking to the great crowd at the New York Web Performance Group Meetup. Fellow presenter Marco Carag (Front End Manager at The Knot) laid down a strong foundation with a discussion of where HTML and CSS sit on the Progressive Enhancement ladder. Following that I came in and talked about JavaScript’s different roles in PE, client side performance, and browser support of upcoming Web Standards. Here’s the slide deck from my portion of the presentation:
The second to last slide mentions a few great supporting articles if you’re interested in how best practices and performance go hand in hand and didn’t make the talk:
- Opera.com – Efficient JavaScript
- Stubbornella – Reflows & Repaints: CSS Performance making your JavaScript slow?
- Ajaxian – Facebook’s JavaScript Speed Up
- Yahoo! Developer Network – Not Just a Pretty Face: Performance and the New Yahoo! Search
Thanks again to Marco and Sergey for the invitation to speak, Interactive One for hosting the event, and all those in attendance for the great questions along the way!
