Overview
The modern developer workflow often starts with authoring a simple page, followed by a live push, but often concludes with a bottleneck discovery. With near certainty, the application was not tested, despite the availability of a testing tool a keystroke away: option-command-i bka Developer Tools (or Web Inspector for you know who).
Devtools should be as quotidian as a morning cup of coffee. Once a simple complement to the browser, it’s now a powerful application capable of providing immediate and revealing data of your site’s performance.
‘Slashing Bad User Experience’ will equip developers with the capacity to correctly conduct a site analysis, expanding on known features, exposing new ones, and provide solutions in the dissolution of performance bottlenecks and poor user experiences.
