With all the talk about Google PageSpeed in the past several months, I have developed an appreciation for learning how to improve user's experiences through better management of the conversations between web browser and server. These concepts pertain to an area of discipline that is being called Frontend Engineering.
Given tools like PageSpeed, it is a shame that many sites still fail to address the issues it reports. Easy gains are often had by following the advice it offers.
I hope to document some of the issues I encounter as I work through them in my day job, involving a large application that I'll call Big Enterprise App (BEA). I'll aim to compile from this a series of Frontend Engineering entries.
Update: Here is a good description of the topics Frontend Engineering deals with. The most succinct description I've heard for this kind of work so far is "responsibility for View Source."
