Date & Time:
Wednesday, August 4th @ 6:00PM
Andreas Grabner is coming to New York City to present new features of upcoming dynaTrace AJAX Edition 2.0
Companies like Google and Yahoo, or individuals such as Steve Souders have been working on Best Practices for Web Performance Optimizations over the last couple of years. Tools like YSlow and PageSpeed automatically verify most of the Best Practice Rules such as correct use of browser caching, reducing the number of roundtrips, optimizing and minimizing content, …
dynaTrace AJAX Edition is a free tool that provides full JavaScript, Network, Rendering, DOM and XHR tracing for Internet Explorer 6, 7 & 8. With the latest version the Ajax Edition automatically analysis Best Practices in the areas of Browser Caching, Network Resources, Server-Side Activity, JavaScript/AJAX and also provides additional Key Performance Metrics that are essential for tracking the end-user perceived performance of a web site such as Time to First Impression, Time to onLoad or Time to Fully Loaded.
The power of the Ajax Edition is the depth of information. The more JavaScript is used to make web applications more interactive the more performance problems are introduced into the client/browser. In this talk we will specifically focus on how to identify JavaScript/AJAX Related performance problems. We will also look into Rendering Activities and how to identify what the browser actually has to do on rendering (Drawing, CSS Evaluation, Reflows, …) depending on your use of CSS or the way the DOM gets modified by JavaScript.
We will also discuss the differences between other tools for other browsers such as YSlow, PageSpeed, FireBug, … and will highlight which tools to use for which tasks.

Alan SeidenA well organized meetup that provided authoritative information on today's web performance challenges and solutions. Andreas Grabner convinced the audience that we must focus on testing with Internet Explorer and that the dynaTrace AJAX edition tool is a powerful way to do it. I was convinced and am looking forward to using dynaTrace and some of the other tools mentioned at the meetup.

Jahdy LancelotI thought the dynaTrace demonstration was top notch. Very informative presentation on an apparently very useful tool. I may have been coaxed into rekindling an old flame with IE.
