Henri Helvetica's Talk

In a New York Minute

Tuesday, 11th – 3:30 PM

Folklore has it that “a New York minute” is measured in moments, if not seconds. When you look up in the history books, the term was coined to describe the hectic nature of life in New York city. That in fact describes the internet to a tee: hectic. In this talk, Henri will recount the hectic nature of loading assets on the internet, how to manage these hurdles, and discuss in data-driven detail how do load your resources rapidly, or In a New York Minute.
