02: Fast and Feasible - An introduction to web performance
Hey friend!
Hows it going? It's already September of 2021. Can you believe that? My life has been quite busy as spring starts up in sunny Sydney. So many flowers everywhere.
I moved houses and moved jobs over the last month. So right now, I have a precarious and temporary computing setup with my windows Surface Pro.
After more software updating and logging in, I was finally able to type this essay and get it on to the website. I hope it gives you some value. The next time upper management asks why or how to make your web app faster,
you can borrow the points from my essay. Here's the link.

In related news, I found out that this FREE web performance related conference "Meets for Speed" is happening on September 30th. I'm really looking forward to Tammy's talk on "Why Performance" which is very close to the theme of this edition of the newsletter.
Smashing Meets — Friendly, inclusive, practical event for web designers and developers. — Meets for Speed — September 30, 2021
Thursday September 30, 9am–noon (PDT), we are hosting another Smashing Meets. This edition's topic is performance — the Meets for Speed edition — and we will host a few amazing talks, a panel discussion and some interactive side-activities.
That's it for today's update. In the next edition, we will talk about measuring performance and do some basic exercises. I'm planning to either have an accompanying video or live webinar as it can be more rewarding for this to be interactive. Remember this is for web perf beginners. Reply to this email to let me know what would suit you.
Option 1 - Text version
Option 2 - Text version + Video
Option 3 - Text version + Live recorded webinar
Have a great week.
Until next time,
