I’m late to the party, but…

I highly recommend following the work of @shrell when it comes to performance—her talk at @ViewSourceConf was great!

…And that feels “right” to me. Like, it’s a reasonable expectation that they know the building blocks but haven’t yet acquired the experience to assemble those building blocks into a robust codebase. Kinda short-term to long-term thinking.

Tomorrow, Thursday evening, in Brighton there’s Homebrew Website Club at 6pm in @68MiddleSt and @AsyncJS from 7:15 in @TheSkiff. If you’re in town for @FFConf, come along!

I had so much fun during @CodebarBrighton last night, helping @SarahAlsherif write her first web page!

Excellent—your technique is very similar to @wordridden’s. We should compare sometime (hint, hint).

Given that Google Search are beginning to remove URLs from search results (not even showing domain names!), this thing I wrote five years ago might be worth revisiting:

Oh, interesting! I shall investigate this further. Thank you muchly, Marty!
