All You Ever Wanted to Know about Web Performance but Were Afraid To Ask

As ColdFusion developers, you build web sites and web applications. As you work to develop them, you want to ensure performance stays high. You may have built a site that performs well in your local environment, but how do you know your customers around the world are having that same experience? At Yottaa, we have learned a lot about how to measure performance of both apps and web services. In this talk, we will show you which metrics to focus on to help achieve consistent performance for all of your end users. You will learn how to measure and benchmark, techniques to apply to improve, and ways to prioritize what to fix. Throughout the talk we will be using our free toolset that you can use in your own projects going forward.

His job is to get developers and designers thinking about web performance and making it a priority rather than just someone else's job. Before moving to Boston to spread word of Yottaa, he traveled the world getting users, administrators, and developers up to speed with OpenText, and held Sales Engineering and Product Management roles at Microsoft.
