Going Fast on the Mobile Web


11:35 - 12:25PM on Thursday, September 18 in 1A23 & 24

There are 3.3 billion mobile devices in the world—that is one for half the world’s population. The number of mobile devices vastly out-numbers the number of computers, televisions, and automobiles. With the release of the iPhone and Google’s Android mobile operating system, adoption of the mobile Web is taking off.

Most web developers are ill-prepared for the transition to mobile devices. Aside from the obvious differences of screen size and location, mobile devices are also connected at lower speeds, have slower processors, and less memory than desktop machines.

During this session, you will get an overview of the factors that make web pages load fast in desktop browsers and how these factors translate onto the mobile Web.

Great presentation. Jason is a fabulous presenter and his presentations are entertaining and on-point. This class provided both the Why and the How in regard to going mobile.

Jason is a great speaker and his slides were well prepared. I was hoping the talk would be a little more technical.
