Multithreading is tough. This is what John Robbins says about it in his excellent book Debugging Microsoft .NET 2.0 Applications: "Don't do it... Make sure there's no other way you can structure your program before you decide to incorporate multithreading into your application... you are easily adding a minimum of an extra month of development and testing to your schedule". I agree with it completely. But there are times multithreading is unavoidable. Especially when more ...

In a Consultant Corner post last month (see HR: Importance vs. Influence), my top-flight colleague, Suzanne Rumsey leveraged a recent survey from McKinsey & Co to demonstrate HR’s perceived lack of alignment with the businesses they support. She highlights that line managers who participated in the study, much more than HR participants, agree that:1. HR lacks capability to develop talent strategies aligned with business objectives2. That HR is not held accountable for success or failure ...

Exchange Server 2003 and later versions of Exchange Server provide support for certain Outlook features, and Office Outlook 2007 works better with Exchange Server 2003 or later in several ways for other features. Several of these features were introduced in Outlook 2003—most notably for synchronization processing, user synchronization status reports, and junk e-mail filtering. Instant Search and automatic Exchange server discoverability are new in Office Outlook 2007. Synchronization between Outlook...(read more)

You know with great certainty that the most popular web page will load much, much faster. Then, you remember that the page always loads much, much faster in your browser with the web server running on your development box. You need numbers that represent what your users will actually experience.Depending on your development ...

Steve Souders is launching Hammerhead today at The Ajax Experience. What is Hammerhead? I kinda think of it as continuous integration for performance. It is a Firebug plugin that you can setup to monitor the performance of your application. Imagine if you add a new feature that you think will speed things up, this tool will let you know how performance was really affected. There are also cool features when you just want to whip ...

There’s been lots of exciting news this summer about JavaScript performance improvements. We have Firefox’s TraceMonkey, Safari/WebKit’s SquirrelFish, and Google Chrome’s V8 all improving by leaps and bounds. On a sightly less exciting note, IE8 will contain 400 fewer memory leaks. This is all very exciting for developers of highly-interactive web-apps, and it makes the Appcelerator style of client-side templating and interactivity even more responsive for the end-user. Though you may not see ray-tracers and ...

System utilities that incorporate multiple functions such as a Registry Cleaner, Junk File Remover, Privacy Cleanup, and in some applications, even more functionality, can be intimidating to new computer users. New users are very often unfamiliar with both the technology itself, and the technical terms involved in using this type of application. While it’s generally true that more advanced users want/need much more control than a one click system utility provides, this type of utility ...

Today at The Ajax Experience, I released Hammerhead, a Firebug extension for measuring page load times. Improving performance starts with metrics. How long does it take for the page to load? Seems like a simple question to answer, but gathering accurate measurements can be a challenge. In my experience, performance metrics exist at four stages along the development process. real user data – I love real user metrics. JavaScript frameworks like Jiffy measure page load ...

My six year old daughter snuck her purple hippo in my bag when I went to SXSW in February. It provided a way for us to stay in touch even with time zone differences and busy schedules. I would take pictures of the purple hippo with my iPhone and email them back home. She and the rest of the family could see where the purple hippo was at the conference, and it was likely I ...

Performance testing can be a tricky proposition, how many times have you deployed code that fell apart in production? (Hey, we've all done it!) Having a staging environment, which replicates the data and deployment environments are great first steps, but even that often falls short from producing reliable results. And that is where load testing comes in: we need to test our application in the context of a multi-user audience interacting with all of the ...

We've heard a lot about optimizing CSS, HTML and JavaScript but one thing that is less talked about is how much extra information image editors put into image files. You might think you've done a great job optimizing your GIFs, PNGs and JPGs while still keeping them visually pleasing but when you use a text editor you'll realize that there is quite a big amount of data you can save by removing information about the ...

Both Nicole and Stoyan have been talking about performance of CSS, JavaScript, HTML and also image optimization. Images can be optimized in two ways: visually (what is the quality) and file size. The latter is quite a corker, though as image editing tools ...
