The beauty of web designing comes with a bit of javascript and mainly css. I mean for me personally, I can’t think of a way to build a website without css. So how can you speed up the load time of your website but still use javascript libraries and css? The answer is quite simple. I found a script from Aciddrop, it can give you great results. All you do is add three lines of code and there you have it! A faster loading webpage.
So how does it do that? Well, say for example, if you have 6 javascript files it would be much quicker for you to join all the JavaScript together into one file and serve that instead. You can decrease the loading time further by minify your JavaScript, CSS and HTML. And also, by gzipping your page’s components and adding a far-future expires header can make your pages load faster as well.
Doing all these adjustments manually would take some time so using the script by AcidDrop might speed up things. On the test page the load time with the compressor turned on was generally below a second, and without the compressor between 3-5 seconds. The Yahoo Yslow rating went from F(45) to A(97) as well.

Programming Collective Intelligence Building Smart Web 2.0 Applications
Written by Toby Segaran
Want to tap the power behind search rankings, product recommendations, social bookmarking, and online matchmaking? This fascinating book demonstrates how you can build Web 2.0 applications to mine the enormous amount of data created by people on the Internet. With the sophisticated algorithms in this book, you can write smart programs to access interesting data sets from other web sites, collect data from users of your own applications, and analyze and understand the data once you’ve found it. Programming Collective Intelligence takes you into the world of machine learning and statistics, and explains how to draw conclusions about user experience, marketing, personal tastes, and human behavior in general.
I think this book may probably be the best for those of whom have read the theory part, but not entirely sure on how to turn that theory knowledge into something useful. Or those of you of that want to know how machine learning can be applied to the web.
In each of this books chapters, the author takes a type of capability to the book. Whether its for example: a “decision making program” or “filtering program”, and shows how a language can be used to build that feature. All his examples are in Python however, so it does help if you are indeed familiar with that language if you want to use the book examples. But I’m sure in other languages the same basic concepts apply. Even if you don’t know any Python, the examples used in this book are clear and detailed enough so that you can get a fair idea of whats happening throughout. As with many of these programming books it does help if you have a background in mathematics and statistics. In this book you can still use the code here without having a detailed understanding of maths but it does of course help.
If I had the time to read all of “Programming Intelligence” I would certainly do so. To some this book would look slightly boring and a little bit wordy, however to others it would be a book that can really get you on the right track for building smart Web 2.0 websites/applications. It is a very detailed book that includes a variety of interesting topics and ideas that any novice programmer would find interesting, I certainly would at least.
