O’Reilly Velocity Conference – Santa Clara
My favorite front-end conference has always been O'Reilly's Velocity Conference because the conference series has focused on one of the most undervalued parts of client side coding: speed. So often we're so excited that our JavaScript works that we forget that speed, efficiency, and performance are just as important.
This year Velocity is broadening its scope to business:
You'll still find plenty of hard-core web operations and performance sessions at the conference.
