Yesterday I went to a master class by Ilya Kantor (
javascript.ru ). In short - I liked it. Under the cut a little more.
What surprised me the most was how few people came - only 7-8 people. Although with the current popularity of javascript theme should be more than claimed.
The event lasted about four hours with two breaks. During this time, Ilya told and showed:
- how javascript “compression” works, what are the tools for it, pros and cons, problems when using, how to write well “compressible” code;
- bottlenecks in javascript, how to get around this rake;
- how to automate work with sprites;
- how effective browser caching is actually;
- how to improve the efficiency of site loading due to parallel loading of scripts;
And for a snack, the scripting build system used in dojo was shown. However, in contrast to the rest of the above techniques, I never thought of how this thing can be attached to real tasks :-)
Ilya told about the available, with examples. Although, perhaps, for very beginner developers, the problems discussed could not be very clear. He gave ready-made solutions that can be put into action with minimal “tuning”.
It is clear that Ilya did not reveal any secrets and secrets. Of course, all this information can be found on the Internet. But when he tells the practitioner, it is structured, with examples and, importantly, answering questions is a little different. I am very pleased that I went - I spent my time sensibly.
