[webfinds] Shouting at your screen to prefetch some Word Art

As people complained that I post too many links to follow on Twitter (it is my stream of consciousness – as I find it, I post it), I’m starting to release these link lists every few days now. Hopefully that helps.

Performance

• Doug Sillars telling us that not all your base belong to us in Performance Anti-Patterns: Base64 Encoding
• Katie Hempenius gives in-depth information on when to use and when not in All about prefetching
• Jordan Irabor has some good insight into Browser Rendering Optimizations for Frontend Development

Algorithms

• On Algorithms and Interviewing talks about the painful experiences of interviews not matching with your job
• On the other hand Obosi Philip gives us a Gentle introduction to algorithms and data structures

Cool demos:
