JSFoo: round the year submissions

It has become critically important to improve your performance of web apps. Users should have a good visual experience while loading a web app. Be it pre-loading important resources, or displaying cached resources, or rendering hero elements first, users should be able to interact with web apps as soon as possible

Speaker bio

I currently work as Software Developer in AppDynamics. I work on developing a Javascript agent which captures important performance metrics for our customers’ websites. We make sure the agent is light-weight, works irrespective of browser and OS versions

I have deep knowledge on working of SPA frameworks(Angular, React, Ember etc) and have a first hand experience in developing web apps using them. I remain updated with the latest web technologies in market and always curious to understand their usefulness, working and adaptation.
