Esta semana apresentei no DevDays09 a sessão WUX303 – Optimização de Performance de Web Sites. A sessão teve um feedback muito positivo tendo ficado em 7º no ranking final das 75 sessões do evento.

A apresentação foi um resumo do livro “High Performance Web Sites” onde se constata que na experiência de navegação numa página Web, a maior parte do tempo é gasto após o HTML chegar por completo ao browser do cliente, ou seja, no carregamento de componentes diversos como imagens, scripts, css, etc. Foram apresentadas as 14 regras para melhorar a performance e User Experience de um site conforme sugerido por Steve Souders no seu livro.

Demonstrei também a utilização das seguintes ferramentas:

• YSlow
• IBM Page Detailer
• Microsoft Visual Round Trip Analyser
• Hammerhead
• Cuzzilion
• Performance Webpage Test (Online)
• Fiddler2

Eis os slides da apresentação e as demos utilizadas.

Hi everyone. My Microsoft DevDays 09 session about Deep Zoom was great! A lot of fun for me and hopefully for everyone who attended. The whole DevDays was great! Met a lot of people, lots of old friends and some new ones. Learned lots of new stuff on some great sessions.

For anyone that wants to get in touch with me, my email is . Please don’t hesitate to ask questions, show me your deep zoom and Silverlight projects or just say hello.

Now that it’s over, it’s time to start preparing for Mix 09 in Las Vegas, where Microsoft will hopefully present us with stuff they’ve been working on, trying hard to improve all the great products developers use on a daily basis.

Before Mix, it’s time to pick up the electric guitars again and go on a mini tour with my band (guys and red-shoed gal, miss you!) through Spain, which will for sure be fun as hell!

Now the links for the DevDays stuff:

As promised, The Group Photo:

NOTE: This is what happens when your pictures are not so good!

NOTE2: I used Microsoft Image Composition Editor, and all it took was to drag and drop 4 pictures into it and export it as Deep Zoom. Try it yourselves (with higher quality pictures!).

I’ll be posting some more Silverlight/DeepZoom related stuff. Stay tuned.
