Fast and Responsive Images

Sergey Chernyshev (http://www.sergeychernyshev.com/) (@sergeyche (http://twitter.com/sergeyche)) will talk about making Responsive Images, essential part of Responsive Web Design, to be also fast.

Sergey will cover experience of recent responsive redesign for truTV.com (http://www.trutv.com/index.html) and how performance was an important part of the project and image processing pipeline that was built to make this possible.
