Open eyes Working brain

I spoke at Better Software 2010, together with Fullo, about speeding up web applications. The talk draws heavily from Steve’s work, but it’s a little bit different from current literature because it tries to organize best practices not as flat list but under macro-areas emerged as “slow parts”. Also, i concluded with my obsession that complexity inherently introduced by performance optimizations should not be dealt with by programmers directly, but by means of automation and abstraction.

Here it is.

update: now i am linking to the extended version which i gave at phpday 2010

Exactly one year ago i posted here for the first time. A hello world tentatively saying “Let’s see what happens”. Now, a year, 16 posts and more than 1000 unique visitors later i can state that maybe it didn’t happen that much, but i liked the journey. So, let’s celebrate this first year with a collage of people, places, companies, technologies, tools, products, devices, books, etc… that influenced and, sometimes, even inspired me in my professional life . Thanks to all.
