Ajax Performance Analysis: Employing the Latest Tools to Get the Job Done
Ajax continues to raise user expectations for interactivity and performance, and developers are increasingly treating Ajax as a must-have component of their web applications. As more code is moved client-side and the network model changes, the community is responding by building open source and commercial tools to address the unique performance challenges of Ajax .
In this talk, Ryan discusses tools and techniques for managing the performance of Ajax applications along the lifecycle of the product: at development time using tools such as Selenium and Firebug and once the application is in production via JavaScript instrumentation (such as Firebug or Dojo profile calls) to pinpoint bottlenecks in code running within the end user's browser.
