"AJAX = Asynchronous JavaScript and XML.
AJAX is a technique for creating fast and dynamic web pages.
AJAX allows web pages to be updated asynchronously by exchanging small amounts of data with the server behind the scenes. This means that it is possible to update parts of a web page, without reloading the whole page.
Classic web pages, (which do not use AJAX) must reload the entire page if the content should change.

Client-side rendering enable many things. We have independent frontend and backend deploys. It’s possible to update sections of the page without re-render everything. It’s easier for teams to develop their own part of the same page (widgets). And it’s possible to develop rich user interactions.
However, we also got new problems. It’s easier to break rendering since we have many run-times (all browsers) instead of one (the server) and JavaScript is not fault tolerant. There’s a really high rate of change in the JS library space. We get a longer time to first render. And client-side web applications are hard to evolve.
In this talk I will show a simpler way, using a toolbox of techniques: a gateway web server, pjax, client-side includes, and custom elements.
Owning Web Performance with PhantomJS 2 - Fluent 2016Wesley Hales
Running a synthetic testing server or script to measure web performance is a great entry point into the world of automated web-page testing. We have an abundance of standardized APIs to measure every part of how the page renders in the browser. PhantomJS 2, released in 2015, gives us the ability to measure navigation timing APIs in an automated fashion.
Wesley Hales introduces the basics of creating a simple PhantomJS script that only extracts the performance data we need (from the W3C Navigation Timing API) and explains how this script can be Dockerized and run across many different nodes and regions of the Web. You’ll walk away with a new view on automated web-performance testing and the tools required to setup a simulated RUM network.
Are you having trouble with all the things happening in web technology lately? Frustrated with the rate of change? Hard to keep up? Then we have good news for you: a little while ago, we at Jayway did a tech radar on web technology and we would like to share it with you.
Some of the technologies we will cover are: ECMAScript 6, React, Angular, Ember, Isomorphic/Universal web applications, Unidirectional client data flow, Backend-as-a-Service, Meteor, and Static site generators.
We will also do a small comparison of the web tech radar we did 18 months ago, and draw conclusions from the differences and the current rate of change.
Finally, we'll give some advices for navigating in the ever changing landscape of new web technology.
