Last month I had the privilege of addressing the audience at the prestigious @media 2006 conference in London. It was quite an honor to contribute to such an outstanding event, accurately dubbed “Europe’s foremost professional web design conference”. Many thanks are due to the organizers, to my fellow presenters and all the attendees, to everybody who attended my session, and especially to those who wrote about it in the blogosphere both before and after. It is a ongoing joy to be part of such a vibrant and open community.
My talk, Yahoo! vs. Yahoo!, used case studies to examine how and when development decisions change in response to a project’s location on what I’m calling The Page-to-Application Spectrum. I used three case studies: the new Yahoo! home page beta, the new Yahoo! Photos beta, and the Yahoo! Mail beta.
While slides don’t capture all the material of the talk, I’m pleased to share them today:
- atmedia2006.ppt (.ppt, 4.2mb)
- atmedia2006.pdf (.pdf, 2.1mb)
Detailed notes taken during my presentation are available thanks to Stuart at Muffin Research. Also, if you have questions or comments, please send me a note or leave a comment.
On a final note, public speaking these days is especially rewarding because of the immediate feedback blogging makes possible. If you will please indulge me, I would like to point to some of the coverage of my session:
PPK of Quirksmode.org, in Did we just win the web standards battle? (@media impressions - part 3)
“Nate Koechley’s presentation was a case study in knowledge sharing, with him giving away quite a few juicy technical bits for free. In short, Yahoo is firmly committed to openness and to discussing stuff with the international technical community.”
PPK of Quirksmode.org in @media impressions - part 2
“…my favourite one, because it’s the only one that taught me some new geeky stuff.”
“Rating, 8/10″
Marko Samastur in @media 2006 is over
“[@media] was great and I specially enjoyed presentations given by Nate Koechley and Andy Clarke. Those two alone made going worthwhile and if you have a chance to see any of them, don’t miss the opportunity.”
“Nate Koechley’s talk was a revelation. An incredible amount of good information and it’s been eye opening for me to learn about Yahoo’s experience.”
David Storey of Slightly ajar in @Media 2006 London
“Nate Koechley of Yahoo! is one such Open the Web hero that has done more than many to promote open standards and get web sites working in as many browsers as possible.”
Martin Kliehm of Learning the World in My @media 2006 Day Two
“I went to this presentation because Nate Koechley recently published his smart concept paper about graded browser support, which we immediately adopted. What I didn’t expect was a most impressive roller coaster trip through browser performance!”
Thanks again, and I hope to see you all again very soon.

It was a very interesting presentation, that taught me a few things. It was great meeting you in London. Good luck for your talk in Portland. I’d have loved to have gone, but couldn’t make it this time. Â

Awesome presentation Nate… the topics you covered are all relevant. I watched the slides along with the podcast (since I missed @media 2006) - top stuff.
Automatic merging and versioning of CSS/JS files with PHP - Wait till I come! December 14th, 2006 - 5:59 am
[...] For those who wonder why the hey you’d want to do this: working on high traffic sites means you learn a lot about how to make pages perform and as Nate Koechley explained at @media 2006 every http request sent from page results in another DNS lookup and generally slows down the perceived loading time of the page. Furthermore, scripts loaded in the head of the document get loaded first and add to the whole page loading time as browsers start rendering after all the dependencies in the head were loaded. [...]
