We Need To Pull Our Fingers Out
What We Can Do 1. Performance
“Over a mobile connection, it may take 2 seconds to
download the initial page of HTML, but it can be immediately rendered.
“Even as the rest of the JavaScript application is being
downloaded, the user can interact with the page. It feels 5x faster.” http://nerds.airbnb.com/weve-launched-our-first-nodejs-app-to-product
“By rendering our page content on the server and deferring
all JavaScript execution… we’ve dropped the time to first Tweet to one-fifth of what it was.” https://blog.twitter.com/2012/improving-performance-on-twittercom
var foo = window.matchMedia('(min-width: 800px)').matches; if (foo) { // Load
functions } yepnope({ test : foo, yep : 'bigscreen.js', nope : 'smallscreen.js' });
I don’t care about: 1. ‘Retina’ photos 2. Typefaces
What We Can Do 2. Experience
