Speed Kills. More accurately the lack of speed kills. It kills your visitors waiting for a page to load. It kills the search engines trying to index your site. It kills your number of page views, your rankings, your conversions, your user experience, your revenue, and the reach of your message.
This presentation is all about tips and tricks for smaller Drupal sites to speed them up like the big boys at low or no cost.
At A Small Orange we have a large number of clients who love Drupal and also love a value. We've learned a few things about site speed hosting Drupal sites on shared hosting over the years and we'd like to share that knowledge. We'll cover things like:
Out of the box cacheing
Other fun Drupal cacheing modules
3rd party services like CloudFlare
Apache stuff like Mod Deflate
7 things every web developer should know about linux administrationZareef Ahmed
Linux system administration is specialized field in itself. In this presentation, I am going to list 7 Linux administration tasks which a programmer should know to be with ease while deploying or planning deployment of applications.

MySQL's replication system has been a core feature often touted for scaling (sort of) and redundancy (sort of). I'll describe a client's extensive use of MySQL replication (they have more than 200 MySQL instances replicating to one another) as a reference for the many uses and misuses of replication.
Different organizations mean different things when they talk about scaling. Sarah will offer some tips about a few different ways that this term is thrown around for MySQL databases. Each different dimension – data volume, read volume, and write volume – present different challenges to the operations and development staff working with the system.

Basic and advanced tips and tricks to optimize your Joomla website in order to achieve maximum performance - a presentation by Tenko Nikolov for JoomlaDay Chicago 2012.
With the HTML5 age a lot of new features came to help developers to create amazing apps and amazing user experience, one of these features is called web socket which provides new powers under the HTTP protocol.
80% of the time it takes for a web page to load is on the client side.
Using all the tips in this presentation should cut 25% to 50% off the load time of optimized page requests.
Drupal (6 or 7) can be used to, fairly easily, implement a whole bunch of these “front-end performance” upgrades, and knock a ton of errors off of the Yahoo! and Google speed-checker tools validation checklists.Get firebug first.

London Web Performance Meetup: Performance for mortal companiesStrangeloop
You're probably familiar with the well-known performance success stories from companies like Amazon, Google, Microsoft and Shopzilla. But how relevant are these megasites to "mortal companies" that don't make billions of dollars per year or have teams of in-house performance engineers to do their bidding?
Strangeloop president Joshua Bixby walks through case studies of Strangeloop customers like AutoAnything.com and Artbeads.com to show how mortal companies have improved performance and achieved measurable success, including:
· Increased revenue by 13%
· Increased cart size by 6%
· Increased conversions by 9%
Joshua offers practical tips for successfully evangelizing performance within your organization. He also gives a snapshot of the current performance landscape in North America, as well as a sense of where the industry is headed.

Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.

"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.
Connector Corner: Automate dynamic content and events by pushing a buttonDianaGray10
Here is something new! In our next Connector Corner webinar, we will demonstrate how you can use a single workflow to:
Create a campaign using Mailchimp with merge tags/fields
Send an interactive Slack channel message (using buttons)
Have the message received by managers and peers along with a test email for review
But there’s more:
In a second workflow supporting the same use case, you’ll see:
Your campaign sent to target colleagues for approval
If the “Approve” button is clicked, a Jira/Zendesk ticket is created for the marketing design team
But—if the “Reject” button is pushed, colleagues will be alerted via Slack message
Join us to learn more about this new, human-in-the-loop capability, brought to you by Integration Service connectors.
And...
Speakers:
Akshay Agnihotri, Product Manager
Charlie Greenberg, Host
Let's dive deeper into the world of ODC! Ricardo Alves (OutSystems) will join us to tell all about the new Data Fabric. After that, Sezen de Bruijn (OutSystems) will get into the details on how to best design a sturdy architecture within ODC.
