So far, we have focused on writing high performance code based on efficient algorithms and data structure usage and writing high quality code to ensure not just bug-free code but also code that scales well in every sense, with the growing customer base and usage as well as with the growing team of developers ramping up on the existing code base.
While writing efficient code is pivotal, it is not the only factor determining the overall performance of your application. In this chapter, we will take a close look at resource loading, how and when it takes place, and the strategies to optimize the loading process resulting in an application that truly is high performance!
We will cover the following topics in this chapter:
- Resource delivery across the internet: We will explore the networking layer to understand what happens behind the scenes from the point when the client initiates the application load to the point where all the required...
