Sites <http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/9780596529307/>) will deliver a 
Developer Track presentation on his 14 rules of best practices for 
making web pages faster. He will go into more detail in a workshop on 
the last day, expounding on research, case studies, and performance 
tools, and advocating a faster user experience for all web users. These 
guidelines focus on the front end, for example, why it's bad to use 
"@import" for including stylesheets and why ETags disable browser 
caching. These best practices have proven to reduce response times of 
Yahoo! properties by 25-50%.

NY, NY
Head First PMP*Head First PMP* 
<http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/9780596102340/index.html> authors Andrew 
Stellman <http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/au/2454> and Jennifer Greene 
<http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/au/2455> talk through the ways that 
software projects fail, using the signature humor and insight in the 
acclaimed "Head First" series. There's an old saying: "There's only one 
way to succeed, but a million ways to fail." But that saying just isn't 
true when it comes to software projects. As it turns out, there are a 
small number of ways that projects fail, and they'll sound eerily 
familiar to any project manager, software engineer or programmer who's 
been around for more than a few years. Many software projects that 
started out as a small, stopgap utility turn into raging behemoths, 
sucking seemingly unlimited time from your programmers. Or the president 
of your company announced that your project will be done this week, even 
though you know that ! it still has an enormous number of bugs. Or your 
team delivered the software, only to have users complain that an entire 
feature is missing. Or every time the team fixes a bug, they seem to 
uncover a dozen more--including ones that you know were fixed six months 
ago. Once you know how projects fail, you can do what you need to do to 
keep them on track.

Developer Library book to be published in 2008, "Flex 3 Cookbook." 
Adobe's got a terrific site for Flex developers of any stripe to show

will include some of the best contributions from the site. Each 
contribution uses the classic O'Reilly cookbook 
"Problem/Solution/Explanation" format; if you've got strong material to 
show the rest of the world, it couldn't be easier to write up your 
material in the online fields, and join the cookbook party. Flex 
developers are in very short supply in an exploding market, so here's 
your chance to show your stuff to the rest of the community!

Articles

WIT*Women in Technology: Hear Us Roar* 
<http://www.oreillynet.com/womenintech/>
The brainchild of Tatiana Apandi, an associate editor at O'Reilly, this 
new series features articles solicited from technology's female 
side--and all focused on what it's like to carve out a career in 
technology.
To hear more from Tatiana, listen to her interview with Chuck Joiner 
<http://www.macvoices.com/wordpress/macvoices-789-tatiana-apandi-on-oreillys-women-of-technology-hear-us-roar-series/> 
on MacVoices.

*An Introduction to Erlang* 
<http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/onlamp/2007/09/13/introduction-to-erlang.html>
Not long ago, ONLamp readers were introduced to Haskell, a functional 
language. Another popular functional language is Erlang, which also 
features powerful features to manage concurrency. Gregory Brown recently 
tried it out, and has this summary.

*Linux vs. BSD, What's the Difference?* 
<http://linux.oreillynet.com/pub/a/linux/2007/08/23/linux-vs-bsd-whats-the-difference.html>
Linux mavens are usually pretty sure they'll never go back to (or start 
using) Windows. They may like Mac OS, but usually don't jump ship for 
that either. But how about the other open source Unix descendant, BSD? 
Dru Lavigne offers a basic primer on what's different in PC-BSD for a 
Linux user, and what's better.

*Schemaless Java-XML Data Binding with VTD-XML* 
<http://www.onjava.com/pub/a/onjava/2007/09/07/schema-less-java-xml-data-binding-with-vtd-xml.html>
This article introduces a Java-XML binding technique based on VTD-XML 
and XPath. This approach doesn't mandate a schema, takes advantage of 
XML's inherent loose encoding, and avoids needless object creation, so 
it is much more efficient for lightweight data binding.

*Moonlight: Silverlight Goes Mono* 
<http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/onlamp/2007/08/23/moonlight-silverlight-goes-mono.html>
By now, you may have heard the buzz around Silverlight, Microsoft's 
attempt to put Adobe out of the rich browser client business. But did 
you know that the Mono gang have been busy making an open source version 
for Linux? You do now.

*Creating Google Custom Search Engines* 
<http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/onlamp/2007/09/06/creating-google-custom-search-engines.html>
Tired of searching for cheesecake recipes and getting nothing but pinup 
calendars? Google has a little-known feature that lets you design your 
own search engines that will search only the sites you want. Bernard 
Farrell introduces us to this useful capability and shows how to set one 
up.

*Organizing Power Tips with Joe Schorr* 
<http://digitalmedia.oreilly.com/2007/09/05/organizing-power-tips.html>
Do you know the difference between blue folders and yellow folders? What 
do you do if you're about to meet with clients and want only their 
images to show in Aperture? In this podcast interview with Joe Schorr, 
Derrick Story discovers advanced organizing tips for Aperture power users.

*Lightroom Using Lightroom's Develop module*
