HTTP/2: What You Need to Know

The HTTP protocol is now over 15 years old and it has served us well, but a new version will address some of the fundamental problems with how it was implemented “on the wire”.

Existing sites should just work with the latest version, but they can drop many of the old tricks they used to squeeze out performance like CSS Sprites and file bundling. This session will review the basics of what is being changed, how to best utilize the new protocol, and dispel rumors (such as mandatory encryption).
