Talk Proposal: Adaptive Image Loading

Talk title

Adaptive Image Loading

Abstract

The web has seen incredible growth over the past decade - an increase that enabled remarkable technological advancement. There are developer tools and frameworks out there that can do magical things and unfortunately, therein lies the problem. With this explosion of new tools as well as myriad device types, we are faced with another problem - performance.

In this talk, we'll explore a concept based on Network Information API, Service Workers and Cloudinary to enable web applications to serve lower quality images (if necessary) in order to speed up the perceptual load time of the web app when on a slower connection.

Hey @tpiros, thanks for submitting a talk 😊I've added it to our cue. Just wondering, how long it be?

[carolstran]

Also, will this be your first time speaking or have you given talks before?

[tpiros]

hi @carolstran -- normally this talk is 30 mins + QA but I can make it shorter/longer if required. And no, I've been giving talks since 2012 -- not sure if this is a plus or not :)

[carolstran]

Not a plus or a minus necessarily, we just offer some extra support for first-time speakers 💖 Thanks for the info! We'll reach out when we have a better idea of when we can have your talk (and just FYI, our longer talks are usually 25 minutes max)

[tpiros]

That’s what I thought - no worries. 25 minutes works as well from my perspective. Looking forward to hearing from you.

[carolstran]

👋 @tpiros, quick question for you. Is there any chance that you'd be open to delivering a 5-10 minute version of your talk?

If not, no worries - we can keep you on the regular waitlist. Just trying to think of ways to get more people on our stage before the end of 2019 🤔💡 ⚡️ 🚀

[tpiros]

Hi 👋 - I don't think so :) Plus I don't think I can justify travelling all the way to Berlin just for the sake of 5-10 minutes 😞 I am patient, my time will come 😄

[carolstran]

Oh! I didn't realize that you aren't living in Berlin! Of course, that makes sense then.

Looking at the waitlist and current schedule, I think we could plan for a time in Q4 if you're available? Here are the dates: October 17 or November 21.

[tpiros]

No worries :) Neither of those dates work for me. Let's revisit this in 2020. Believe it or not my Q3 & Q4 are full of events and I can't commit to more at the moment :(

[carolstran]

I totally get that actually because I'm the same way 😆

The dates for Q1 2020 are January 16, February 20 and March 19 (and of course, every third Thursday every month after that). I'll label this issue On Hold for now just so we don't continually ping you, but definitely ping us if any of those dates work. Otherwise, we can check in at the end of the year 🎸
