Last week I gave an internal tech talk at Yahoo! entitled Achieving Performance Zen with YUI 3. The full video of the talk is now available on YUI Theater. The slides are available on SlideShare (or you can download the Keynote deck).
Synopsis: Following codified guidelines can help you build fast websites, but building applications that are clean, fast and extensible also involves taking a balanced approach to performance at every level of your F2E work. YUI 3 is designed to help you in this process, providing a right-sized abstraction layer with built-in performance magic and a variety of tools that make fast frontend code easy and fun to produce. In this session, we’ll explore the zen of performant JavaScript in the YUI 3 world and introduce you to some of the powerful tools YUI 3 puts at your disposal in every app you write.
