Tune the Web

Running a successful website is fun, but not all webmasters are prepared for their sites getting slashdotted or ddosed. This track covers site performance benchmarking, measuring site throughput, evaluating site accessibility, and scanning for security vulnerabilities. Frameworks assist webmasters in optimizing their UI, performing A/B testing, replaying user requests, and running complex test suites prior to deployment. New-generation browsers facilitate client-side applications through websockets and WebRTC streams. A list of tools, techniques, and projects might include but is not limited to Apache Bench, Jmeter, Apache, Nginx, Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Node.js, angular.js, amber.js, backbone.js, GWT, OWASP, Mod_security, skipfish, pagespeed, Firebug, Ghost, Selenium, and the robot framework.
