See You at OSCON
I’ll be up at OSCON in Portland this week. I’m speaking Thursday 2:35pm on Even Faster Web Sites, the next set of performance best practices I’m working on. I’m signing books Thursday 12:20pm at the Powells table, and I’ll be in the Google booth Thursday 4pm. At the Google booth I’ll be doing performance consulting – anyone can stop by and ask questions about their web site’s performance, or we can just fire up a packet sniffer and YSlow to see what jumps out.
There are a lot of great talks this year. Here are a few I’ve earmarked:
- Full-stack Introspection Crash Course by Theo Schlossnagle
- An Open Source Project Called “Failure:” with Josh Berkus. Shane Warden, Ben Collins-Sussman, Brian Fitzpatrick, and Karl Fogel
- Barely Legal XXX Perl by Jos Boumans (entertaining speaker)
- Experience-driven Development: Designers and Developers Working in Harmony by Chris Shiflett and Jon Tan
- Do You Believe in the Users? by Ben Collins-Sussman and Brian Fitzpatrick
- CSS for High Performance JavaScript UI by Gavin Doughtie (this looks really good)
- Using Puppet: Real World Configuration Management by James Turnbull and Luke Kanies (this is at the same time as my talk, but if you’re more interested in ops Luke is doing great stuff)
If you’re going to OSCON please come by and say Hi.
