About "Your Script Just Killed My Site":

Ads, buttons, widgets – third party content is popular on today’s websites. JavaScript provides a great way to mashup content from different sources. Unfortunately, in most cases each JavaScript snippet is capable of bringing down the entire site. Wha?! That’s right – site outages aren’t restricted to the backend, they happen on the frontend, too. Join Steve Souders as he talks about the prevalence of frontend SPOF, ways to avoid it, and a deep dive into snippet performance analysis.

Agenda:

Beer tasting + local cuisine* starting @ 6:41 PM

Presentation by Steve Souders @ 7:19 PM

Discussion with Douglas Crockford @ 7:53 PM
