00:00.000 --> 00:08.000
On the web today, poor performance is not just an annoyance. For the average person, it can be a barrier to using the web– Not to mention being bad for business. 
00:08.000 --> 00:14.000
With network speeds improving every year, we might think that these problems are just going to go away on their own. 
00:14.000 --> 00:22.000
But trends show that's not the case. Performance has been getting worse for the average person, and it’s often our practices that are to blame.

Hi, I’m Scott Jehl. I’ll be your guide for this lecture series.
00:27.500 --> 00:36.000
I've been building on the web for over 20 years and in that time I've been fortunate to have played a part in several influential projects and pivotal moments in our field.
00:37.000 --> 00:46.000
Through my work at Filament Group, and collaborating with the broader open source and web standards communities, I keep informed on the challenges of building for the web today.
00:47.000 --> 00:53.000
And I love to share what I learn at conferences and in writing, both online and off.
00:54.000 --> 00:57.000
In this series, you’ll learn the ins and outs of delivering quickly on the web today. 
00:58.000 --> 01:04.000
I’ll discuss how I think about performance and why good performance is so critical to businesses and people alike. 
01:04.000 --> 01:11.000
I’ll demonstrate how to identify and analyze performance problems using metrics that matter most to the actual user experience. 
01:12.000 --> 01:24.000
And lastly, I’ll teach you how to mitigate those performance bottlenecks, monitor for regressions,and strengthen your practices overall to prevent those problems from occurring in the first place.
01:24.000 --> 01:26.000
I hope you'll join me.
