Lasso Developer Conference 2008
Over the past few weeks, I’ve been preparing for this year’s Lasso Developer Conference in Chicago. It’s my second time speaking at the event, and although it’s not until September, a written paper and demo materials which will accompany the presentation were due July 1st are due July 14th (thanks to LassoSoft for the gracious extension). I’m really looking forward to the event. It’s truly a great chance to meet and interact with members of the Lasso community as well as the LassoSoft team.
The title of my talk is “Server Side Techniques for Client Side Optimization”, and it explores ways to streamline the delivery of modern web apps by reducing HTTP requests, combining, minifying, and compressing assets with tools such as the YUI Compressor, using asset subdomains, and more, all wrapped up in a self-contained system that won’t force you to change your existing workflow. And, although I agree somewhat with criticisms that it’s “teaching to the test”, it’ll also help you score an A(100) in YSlow.
