Mark presented on this topic at Refresh Austin a couple of months ago and it was awesome. He's a great speaker and managed to convey a wealth of practical information during a fun presentation.

Not only would this be an extremely useful topic, but Mark is very intelligent and presents in a personable and engaging manner. I highly recommend him and any topic he chooses to present. He's definitely someone to watch.

Great topic. At first you think that this is a no brainer, but about 30 seconds in you realize what a huge time saver and cost saver these kinds of considerations can be.

I saw the Refresh Austin version of this talk and was able to put it into practice on my site very shortly thereafter, which reduced our bandwidth usage and improved our user experience. Definitely recommended!

I saw the Bootstrap Austin version of this talk and was able to understand the concepts. I might go to it again, to learn how to put it into practice (okay, so I'm a slow learner). Mark was very clear and charming in his delivery.

Hey folks, thanks for all the great comments! For those of you that haven't heard the talk or have any questions, requests, or suggestions, don't hesitate to drop me a line at mark@areyouwatchingthis.com.

I'll concur with what everyone has already said about Mark's presentation and speaking abilities. The presentation has very real, practical applications that can be put into effect almost the next day to reduce bandwidth and server load.
Do it today!
