Diving In

+

This book, like all books, was a labor of love. Oh sure, I got paid the medium-sized bucks for it, but nobody writes technical books for the money. And since this book is available on the web as well as on paper, I spent a lot of time fiddling with webby stuff when I should have been writing. + +

[typewriter] + +

The online edition loads as efficiently as possible. Efficiency never happens by accident; I spent many hours making it so. Perhaps too many hours. Yes, almost certainly too many hours. Never underestimate the depths to which a procrastinating writer will sink. + +

I won’t bore you with all the details. Wait, yes — I will bore you with all the details. But here’s the short version. + +

    +
  1. HTML is minimized, then served compressed. +
  2. Scripts and stylesheets are minimized by YUI Compressor (and also served compressed). +
  3. Scripts are combined to reduce HTTP requests. +
  4. Stylesheets are combined and inlined to reduce HTTP requests. +
  5. Unused CSS selectors and properties are removed on a page-by-page basis with a little help from pyquery. +
  6. HTTP caching and other server-side options are optimized based on advice from YSlow and Page Speed. +
  7. Pages use Unicode characters in place of images wherever possible. +
  8. Images are optimized with OptiPNG. +
  9. The entire book was lovingly hand-authored in HTML 5 to avoid markup cruft. +
