On the second day of this years SXSW Interactive I went to see the following panels:
- 10:00 AM Even Faster Web Sites (Steve Souders – Google)
- 11:30 AM More Secrets of JavaScript Libraries (John Resig – Mozilla Corporation, Andrew Dupont – Prototype JavaScript Framework, Nate Koechley – Yahoo!, Becky Gibson – IBM, Dojo)
- 03:30 PM From Freelance to Agency: Start Small, Stay Small (Jeffrey Zeldman – Happy Cog Studios, Roger Black – Roger Black Studio, Kristina Halvorson – Brain Traffic, Whitney Hess – Freelancer)
- 05:00 PM Building Your Brand with Web 2.0 Tools (CC Chapman – The Advance Guard, Julie Haddon – The Marketing Farm, Saul Colt – FreshBooks, Loic Le Meur – Seesmic)
Steve Souders’ talk was, as always, very interesting and brought some apsects to my attention that never crossed my mind. He considers his 14 rules as “old school” and moves on to other aspects of front end optimization. Did you know that having insline script(s) follow stylesheets is bad? I didn’t until his talk. Looking forward to his new book “Even Faster Websites”, which will be published in June 2009.
The two afternoon panels were also inspiring but didn’t really hold new information but rather confirmed things I heard, read or knew before.
After dropping off our bags at the hotel, Peter and I went to T.G.I. Fridays for dinner and then on to the official opening party.
