Velocity 2010 - The non-technical bits
Wednesday, July 14th, 2010Velocity, THE Web Performance and Operations Conference, was a runaway success again this year. It was sold out with 1,200 attendees - making it larger than the previous two years, combined.
As usual, the technical talks were outstanding. But I found some of the non-technical talks of particular interest.
So many of the challenges we face (performance-related, or otherwise) often have roots in cultural or organizational issues rather than technical issues. Several presentations explored this, and offered suggestions. These were my favorites:
- Creating Cultural Change by John Rauser (Amazon), Video
- Excerpts from Choose your own adventure by Adam Jacob (OpsCode), Video 1, Video 2
- Moving Fast by Bobby Johnson (Facebook), Video
You can watch them all in less than an hour. Go get some popcorn…
