Third party-performance (Airbnb Nerds, Nov 2013)
"Almost every site on the internet today serves 3rd-party assets and code - jQuery, analytics, trackers, share buttons, ads - from both their own servers and others - cloud providers, dedicated hardware, CDNs, google hosting. These third parties can have a significant effect on performance, delaying the load event, deferring actions, and being a single point of failure beyond your control. This deck discusses techniques and strategies for working with 3rd parties within these limitations, and shares some relevant community work."

"How can HTML5 compete with Native ?" | DeveloperEconomics

"Here are some of the key findings: Web developers have four fundamental routes to the mobile market: direct to mobile browser, via a web wrapper (aka “the hybrid approach”), via a web-to-native converter, through a Native JavaScript API platform 61% of HTML mobile developers go direct to the mobile browser, 27% use a web wrapper like Phonegap, 7% use a native JavaScript API platform like Blackberry Webworks and just 5% use a Web-to-native converter like Appcelerator The four routes to market differ in terms of API depth: Among 30,339 Google Play (US) apps, 37% can be implemented using HTML5 via the Mobile browser, 49% via Phonegap, 63% via Appcelerator and 98% via Firefox OS The most important APIs currently missing from HTML5 are WiFi and Power Management. If implemented, they would result to a 20.83% rise in the number of Android apps that can be created with HTML5 JavaScript performance is mostly a matter of tools and the ability to measure and improve Browser politics play a key role to HTML5 development: Besides Opera, all major browser vendors are mobile OS vendors"
