Video description
Discover the latest tools, skills, and ideas in web performance and operations with this complete video compilation of O’Reilly’s Velocity Conference 2012. With a focus on practical, large-scale web development, Velocity consistently attracts the best minds in the world of web ops. This year, experts including Steve Souders, John Allspaw, Jay Parikh, Mike Brittain, and Stoyan Stefanov led sessions in four tracks: Web Performance, Operations, Velocity Culture, and—increasingly important—Mobile Performance.
Download these videos or view them through our HD player, and keep pace with the changing speed of the Web. Learn what’s worked (and equally importantly, what has not worked) in real world applications. The only things expanding faster than new techniques and technologies to build a faster, stronger Web are the expectations of web and mobile users—it’s a race you cannot afford to lose.
