Asynchrony on the web

Submitted Jan 30, 2013

Gain perspective on the underlying asynchronous nature of the web and insight into best practices for building high performance, well designed asynchronous web apps.

Outline

The web is essentially synchronous - web clients typically aren’t but web apps tend to be. Bits of asynchrony has crept into the web app platform however over time both from a standards perspective and from a JavaScript libraries point of view.

Asynchrony is here to stay. What patterns and practices can we as web devs adopt to make sure that our apps remain responsive and make optimum use of resources while not ending up with a steaming pile of code at the same time that can potentially precipitate nuclear fission when executed? Join this talk to review some tips, tricks and best practice approaches to handling asynchrony on the web.
