Website-Performance.org goes live – watch this space for good information about speeding up your web site

Stuart Colville and Ed Eliot finally announced their engagement … in writing a book for Apress about coping with hair lossweb site performance to be released later this year. The URL is http://website-performance.org/ and the first killer app to use there is the CSS sprite generator that allows batch uploading of images inside zips and several levels of customization of the generated CSS and images.

I am proud to work alongside these two guys, especially as I consider them the best kind of developers: good, team-orientated in their workings and not posh about it. Keep your eyes open for the book, it can help you a lot.
