Luis Ferro with The new kid on the block: HTTP/2

The internet is evolving, and on it’s core, the HTTP protocol has a newer version: HTTP2. What does the protocol evolution means for us web developers? In this talk we will focus on the genesis of HTTP2, and the changes that it will induce to our development practices. Come learn some of the new features of the web, how to make your sites faster, more efficient and more secure.

Parking

There is parking in an NCP carpark on Garrard Street just below the building, but this is very expensive. The venue is a five or ten minute walk from the Oracle car parks, which are much more reasonable, and the train station car park.

----

Building Access

Access to the building requires a swipe card system, we will be outside the building from 18:45 to help get you in and will have others ready to ferry people up.

Call Chris Hoult on 07399 316 450 or Jeremy Williamson on 01189 520 159 if you have any trouble gaining access.
