Speed Bumps Ahead

Featuring Alexander Yakushev

Performance optimization is an obscure topic because people usually don't practice it too often. Performance doesn't matter most of the time, and you can safely ignore thinking about it up until the moment it starts to matter. That's where you are left wondering what exactly went...

Lightning Talk: Some Thoughts about Immutability and its Limits

Featuring Karl Brodowsky

A core principal of functional programming is to use immutable data structures not sometimes, but all the way through. They are highly optimized in performing the necessary copy operations in a lazy and efficient way, but this approach has its limits, for example when you try sorting algorithms....

Fast But not Furious: Debugging User Interaction Performance Issues

Featuring Anna Migas

Perceived performance is not only about fast page loads and delivering the content as early as possible. It is also about all the interactions happening on an already loaded page. Even some of the most popular UI patterns can be a cause of frustration. Understanding what is happening under the...

Lightning Talk: Improving User Experience With Web Workers

Featuring James Milner

Web browsers use single threaded JavaScript to perform tasks; business logic, layout, reflows, and garbage collection. This means complex and heavy JavaScript functions can block the main thread from rendering. This results in low frame rates and low interactivity for things like scrolling and...
