Speaking at DevGroup NW Next Week

I’m going to be speaking at DevGroup NW next Wednesday at 6:15 pm on how web developers can easily speed up their web sites and the benefits of doing so. Here is the abstract:

Topic: Speed Matters: Simple steps to make your site faster.
Date: Wed, Sep 19, 2007

Studies show that the speed of a web site not only impacts end user experience, but also affects the a company’s credibility.

Optimizing a site can also have major business implications. ESPN’s optimization efforts saved 2 terabytes per day in bandwidth and thousands of dollars in network costs.

Despite the benefits for both users and businesses of optimizing web pages for speed, the tricks for speeding up sites are often overlooked by web developers.

During this session, we’ll cover the simple practices that you can implement right now to make web sites faster, customers happier and save money.

DevGroup NW is sponsored and hosted by Hot Pepper Studios on SE Division. For more details and to RSVP, visit the event page. I hope I see you there.
