Learn the nuts and bolts of hitting that 1000 millisecond "time to glass" target.
What does it take to build a mobile website which renders in less than 1000 milliseconds? A lot of very careful engineering! In this talk we’ll dissect the problem bottom up: from the limitations and real-world performance of our mobile networks, up through how the browser renders the page, and finally how you construct the page to either help or hinder the browser to do its job.
With concrete numbers in hand, we’ll then take a look at some possible techniques and best practices to deliver the “1000 millisecond” experience.

Hello folks! I remember a kind of web app a speaker used for his talk which allowed us to have the slideshows on our computer and follow the slides in real-time with him. Do you have the name of that? Thanks !

Thank you to all the presenters and hosts.
We are actively working on a web socket project and the pointers from the presentation on performance will prove very valuable.
We are buying 4 copies of the book today.

Fantastic talk. Great use of stats to analyze performance and suggest measures to speed things up. It would be nice though to have a brief list of the various Google projects mentioned during the talk. Thanks to all those who put this meet-up together.

There's a book signing at 7:30 but Ilya's book won't be in print until the end of May... does this mean there will be advance copies of his book available at this meeting?

I wonder if anybody wants a ticket to the HTML5 Developers conference http://html5devconf.com/index.h...
. I am selling it at face value (early bird) $69.57, since my employer bought me another ticket. Current going rate is $147.64 with ticketing fee. You should be able to transfer funds via PayPal.
