Great Lakes Area .Net UG: Optimize .Net Azure App Services

Nov 22, 2019Download as PPTX, PDF0 likes1,590 views

Check out more on my blog at: https://www.mcbeev.com/ Azure App Services are basically the de facto standard as the best possible way to deploy and host a .Net Framework or .Net Core application, period. You can argue with me until you are blue in the face about other hosting methods or platforms, but you would still be wrong. However, utilizing an Azure App Service as your hosting method is not the same as utilizing standard IIS, especially when it comes to optimization. During the session we will deploy a .Net Core MVC application to Azure, determine an initial baseline for performance, and then walk through how to configure various properties and server-side configurations that make that site blazing fast.

My presentation from South Florida Code Camp 2016 on Accelerated Mobile Pages (AMP). SFLCC was in lovely Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Google started AMP as an initiative to dramatically improve the performance of the mobile web. The main approach that AMP employs is placing HTML on a diet, in an attempt to gain breakneck speeds, for loading content on our mobile devices. This new open-source based framework throws out the standard approach to loading bloated CSS and JavaScript libraries and instead becomes a lean, mean superfast machine. Join me to find out what exactly are Accelerated Mobile Pages, what do they mean for search, and how can you prepare for it on your website?

AMP - Accelerated Mobile PagesIdo Green

AMP is coming to improve the mobile web. Big time. There are many aspect to a great user experience on sites. In order to improve the speed of the media websites on mobile and the monetization, we needed few things: 1. Fast pages. Fast to load, fast to display, saving bandwidth when possible. 2. Easy for the developers and companies to create. Only based on known and widely used technologies. 3. Mobile Friendly: they should respect a standard and thanks to this standard, pages would be automatically optimized for mobile devices 4. Embrace the open web: non-proprietary technology, open source, available to anyone to use and improve. It should not only help for search engines, but for everyone. In these slides, we will cover AMP and what it can do for you.

AMP is an open spec for lightweight, mobile-friendly pages. You can use it as the mobile view on your site, and having it enabled actually allows the AMP version of your page to be used by Google for search previews and in other places on their platform. In addition, many SEO experts recommend adopting AMP as Google is likely to reward those who do in terms of rankings. You will learn why AMP is important, how to easily add it to your WordPress site, and different techniques you can use to customize it to your specific needs.

google amp pagesChecklists Here There And Everywhere

Creating Google AMP Pages allows websites to load faster on mobile and desktop. AMP (Accelerated Mobile Pages) requires rewriting pages in HTML, CSS, and JavaScript to meet speed requirements. Websites create AMP versions of pages that are validated and cached by Google. When users search on mobile, AMP versions may load up to 10x faster than regular pages. AMP works best for static content like news articles and blogs but may not be needed if pages already load quickly. Websites must maintain original and AMP versions of pages and add metadata to link between them.

The MACH mission is to encourage enterprises to switch from traditional single-vendor application suites to a more composable, best-of-breed architecture. This session will guide you through the process of building scalable, composable, and highly customizable websites using MACH principles. We’ll use Azure to get it to the cloud, Github to automate deployments, and make it editable with a quick Headless CMS integration. In the process, we will create an e-commerce site with a few simple products that is also part of a larger marketing site (think news articles and featured content). All of this to happen with a serverless API-first approach, modern tech stack, and easy deployment path to the cloud.

Content Last: A Strategy for Success or Failure?Brian McKeiver

The document discusses how content is often an afterthought in website development projects, with the site being built first and content added later. However, this approach usually leads to problems like design bugs, incorrect content structure, and delays. Instead, the document argues for a content-first approach where content creation is scheduled from the beginning of projects and sample content is developed during design phases. Developing real content throughout the process helps ensure the design and development work considers actual usage scenarios and avoids rework.
