Presentation for the speech I gave at the RuPy 2011 conference in Poznań, Poland. It covers a wide set of caching and optimisation techniques, that we (developers) can easily incorporate to simplify our life.
It all starts with the back-end caching and optimisation — except for the very popular view chaching, there're some nifty tricks we can use. But it's not all about the back-end — we can also optimise the front-end and in many ways the communication process between these two application's layers! How? See the presentation here or watch the recorded talk.
Presentation covers following topics: Ruby on Rails view caching, class caching, data caching, HTTP headers optimisation, assets caching, localStorage and much more.
What is design and how to effectively design software? Well, the answers are in this short (70 pages) book. Start using simple, yet very effective techniques to boost your design workflow today, completely for free!
This book is for anyone interested in effective software design. No matter if you are a professional or a rookie, it's worth to check out different points of view.
Book covers following topics: user centered design with personas, wireframing and prototyping, designing Finite-state Machines, and much more.
What is usability and how does it differ from User Experience? Take a look at the presentation to get to know.
This presentation was prepared as a workshop material, so I decided to share it as it is — unfortunatelly there won't be video or audio version any time soon, I'm sorry for that.
