It was really very helpful... it cleared up and expanded immensely on a few hazy ideas I had about web performance from the end-user perspective (rather than the 'how many servers do we need to buy' perspective). And filled in gaps in my general understanding about http, JS, etc. Thanks much! Thanks for the course Steve!

I'm also aware of discussions to put together a series of JavaScript workshops that would include performance tips. More on that in Q1. @Dave S: My next book (due Q2 ’09) will have several chapters on JavaScript performance.

They always said the concepts and abstractions laid down the framework for learning all the applications, but without real world examples, it was all just hand-waving magic. I've stumbled across most of the issues in these tests over the last year or so, and it was a nice refresher to go through. Is there any plan to cover a javascript performance class? I can't tell you how crappy most javascript is on the web right now. Steve,

The most consistent comment was the desire for more applied classes like this one. There is a surprising lack of classes dealing with the Web at Stanford. John Ousterhout is there now and will help develop a web curriculum. There was good interest in my class, but even bigger when I brought in the guest lecturers, esp. Bobby Johnson from Facebook. I was pleased to see a number of students were involved with working in industry either with their own startups or projects through Stanford. Despite the lack of classes, these students were definitely well informed about the latest web technologies. Hi, Brad.

Any surprising things or trends you learned from the students themselves? Hi Steve, great idea for a course. Any surprising things or trends you learned from the students themselves?
