High Performance Browser Networking

How well are you prepared to create fast and efficient web applications? This eloquent book provides everything every web developer should know about networking, from fundamental limitations that affect performance to key innovations for building even more powerful browser applications, including HTTP 2.0 and improvements in XHR, Server-Sent Events (SSE), WebSocket, and WebRTC. The author, Ilya Grigorik, a web performance engineer at Google, shares best practices for performance optimization for the TCP, UDP, and TLS protocols and explains the unique requirements for optimizing wireless and mobile networks. You will then dive into the performance features of technologies such as HTTP 2.0, client-side network scripting with XHR, real-time streaming with SSE and WebSocket, and P2P communication with WebRTC. Deliver outstanding TCP, UDP, and TLS performance and accelerate network performance over 3G/4G mobile networks.
