After a bit of a post DeltaV break we are back, and so is one of our old friends Doug Sillars who will be telling us all about Ahow adding video to your website is a great way to increase engagement and to highlight your brand. However, video that does not play smoothly causes frustration to users. With variable network conditions and low powered devices, how can you ensure that your video will look stream perfectly to all of your users? In this talk, we will walk through the mechanics of delivering video and apply best practices to deliver video quickly, efficiently and without stalling.

This month we have two great talks. Firstly we have a talk from Arianna Aondio, Technical Evangelist at Varnish Software, who will talk about “The butterfly effect and tech” and how the only certainty we face in tech is uncertainty. She will look at how agility, flexibility, and openness can help us get a certain sense of control and thereby cope with that uncertainty. To follow Arianna we will have Andy Davies who will give those of you that did not attend the recent SmashingConf to hear his talk “A/B Testing, Ads and other 3rd Party Tags” where will will take another look at one of our favourite web performance subjects.
