Speed ​​up your site. Table of contents

After discussing the profitability of a paper book issue, I decided to concentrate on the electronic version. If it is popular enough, then it will be possible to think about hard-copy.

In the era of Web2.0 technology and views it would be foolish to write a book in isolation from its readers, so in this topic there is a preliminary table of contents (to correct further work). It pursues two goals: first, to give a general idea of ​​the need for client optimization. Secondly, to talk about existing approaches and the most modern solutions. The book does not seek to teach optimize complex JavaScript-applications or configure nginx + FastCGI. Only a common approach and basic techniques.

Any comments are welcome.

It is also planned to include in the book several not my personal articles, therefore in the near future I will additionally contact all authors (ie, some sections will not be published, or will be seriously revised, or agreed with the authors and inserted with links to them).

At the moment, we are also looking for an illustrator and (li) coder who would help arrange all these hundreds (about 300) pages of text and code listings. As compensation, I can offer 50% of charitable donations after the publication of the book and any mention of the name.
