In your hands is the largest collection of web performance articles ever published. It includes performance topics such as open source tools, caching, mobile networks and applications, automation, improving the user experience, HTML5, JavaScript, CSS3, metrics, ROI, and network protocols. The collection of authors is diverse including employees of the world’s largest web companies to independent consultants. At least seven web performance startups are represented among the contributors: Blaze, Cloud- Flare, Log Normal, Strangeloop, Torbit, Turbobytes, and Zoompf. The range of topics and contributors is impressive. But what really impresses me is that, in addition to their day jobs, every contributor also runs one or more open source.
