Also, if you attend this session, Joe has a little Drupalize.Me gift for your continued learning.
Debugging, Profiling, & Rocking Out with Browser-Based Developer Tools!
Friday, October 20, 1:30 pm - 2:15 pm
with Mike Herchel, Senior Front-End Developer at Lullabot
Front-end developers have come to rely on browser-based tools for developing the modern web, but keeping up with the continuously evolving changes and features often presents challenges. Never fear! Mike will make it simple by walking you through live examples sharing tricks and tips for using Chrome, Firefox, and Safari developer tools, as well as common troubleshooting solutions.
So long and thanks for all the requests: Front-end performance in the age of http/2
Friday, October 20, 4:45 pm - 5:30 pm
with Marc Drummond, Senior Front-End Developer at Lullabot
Curious to know how http/2 affects front-end performance when aggregating your CSS and JS? Marc says, "Don't panic!" New front-end performance techniques don't have to be drastically different from what you already know. In addition to recapping the basics of how http/2 is changing the way browsers process requests, Marc will take a look at performance strategies, stats, and studies on http/2 that will encourage attendees to continue the conversation and knowledge-sharing.
