In una parola: pignolo. All'inverosimile. L'ottimizzazione delle risorse in un sito web portata all'estremo. Dall'ordine di caricamento di javascript e css all'ottimizzazione delle regole nei css per accelerare il rendering. Probabilmente eccessivo per la maggior parte dei siti web, ma utilissimo per siti molto frequentati e molto dinamici.

Even more details about web application performance. Enjoyed the book. I haven't tried these experiments before and it was pretty astonishing when I found out that didn't know such details about css, http and browsers...

This book is aiming to more experienced QA engineers and web developer. I recommend reading it only after "High Performance Web Sites: Essential Knowledge for Front-End Engineers" of the same author.

This is a good follow up to the previous book. There are some pretty interesting tidbits like the fact that CSS selectors are interpreted from right to left.

Good book, usefull as reference.
I already knew most of the stuff before I bought it, hence the low rating.

just finished this one... the early parts I've read before... some of the later parts have some interesting conclusions... but it starts out very solid with very clear descriptions of benefits of one particular development method (for js) over another... Learned a little bit from this book... The best thing about it was that it really made me remember all of the front-end optimizations that can be made to a site and showed me a few new ways to think about ptimizations...
