Description:
Scripts are the most painful resource to load in your page - they slow down the page more than images, stylesheets, even Flash. Why? Because when browsers start downloading a script, they stop rendering the page and downloading other resources. Even newer browsers that tout parallel script loading (IE8, Firefox 3.5, Chrome 2, Safari 4) still block rendering and downloads when loading scripts. In this talk, I'll present several techniques for avoiding these problems including splitting the initial payload, loading scripts without blocking, and coupling asynchronous scripts. This talk is only relevant for web sites that use JavaScript and want to be fast and have happy users.

Great presentation, best so-far at jQueryCon. Book-shilling is OK as far as it goes. I got a lot from following the slides downloaded from Steve's website.
Shame this session wasn't longer.

Great presentation, only part I disliked was the sprite stuff, but other than that good stuff.
Funny, concise, and informative. Well worth seeing.
Great delivery, wish it could be longer. Looking forward to seeing more at the ajax experience.

Definitely enjoyable talk. Good mix of entertaining, challenging, and inspiring (like his getting all excited about SpriteMe). Great job handling some of the questions and constructive criticism of his app. Awesome information on YSlow and PageSpeed. Will be very helpful to me.

Do not be attracted to someone Because of his face, Because beauty looks cans be misleading. Do not be too attracted to his wealth, wealth Because cans be Destroyed. Attracted to someone WHO cans make you smile, Because only a smile That cans make a dark day brightened. May you find people like that.

Great material, lots of good information, but could save 3% in overall presentation download time, by removing "like", ", right?" and "So," from the beginning, middle and end of every sentence. domain.language.southern_california=false
