Interview With Web Optimization Expert Andy King

Posted by timothy on from the make-things-simple dept.

Adrian Holovaty writes "Andy King, author of the new book Speed Up Your Site: Web Site Optimization, was kind enough to chat with me about Web optimization -- making pages load and work efficiently -- and how it applies to news/information sites and weblogs. Andy founded WebReference.com and Javascript.com, two of the most respected Web development sites."

    I remember using webreference.com a couple of years ago. Hadn't been there in ages, just went back to look and... yeesh!

    If I hadn't read this story, I would have assumed that the owners of webreference.com had let the domain expire, and some lamer had snatched it up and used it as a backup URL for his GeoCities site.

    Needless to say, webreference.com is being deleted from my bookmarks as soon as I hit Submit.

    DevGuru is also a good one if a bit Microsoft-centric.
