Comet Chapter in New Souders’ Book
March 12th, 2009 by Dylan
A while back, Steve Souders of YSlow and High Performance Web Sites fame asked me if I wanted to write a chapter for his new book, Even Faster Web Sites.
In general, I turn down all offers to write books because I’m very busy with SitePen and Dojo. That said, when Steve asked if I would write a short chapter on Comet performance, that seemed manageable and so I did. I only committed to doing so after writing the chapter, as I didn’t want to back out if I couldn’t put something together that was of sufficient quality. A few plane flights gave me the bulk of the time to write the text for the chapter.
Even Faster Web Sites is now available now for pre-order.
Could you share some of the tips? Did you discuss latency?
