How prepared are you to build fast and efficient web applications? This eloquent book provides what every web developer should know about the network, from fundamental limitations that affect performance to major innovations for building even more powerful browser applicationsâ??including HTTP 2.0 and XHR improvements, Server-Sent Events (SSE), WebSocket, and WebRTC.

Author Ilya Grigorik, a web performance engineer at Google, demonstrates performance optimization best practices for TCP, UDP, and TLS protocols, and explains unique wireless and mobile network optimization requirements. Youâ??ll then dive into performance characteristics of technologies such as HTTP 2.0, client-side network scripting with XHR, real-time streaming with SSE and WebSocket, and P2P communication with WebRTC.

Deliver superlative TCP, UDP, and TLS performance Speed up network performance over 3G/4G mobile networks Develop fast and energy-efficient mobile applications Address bottlenecks in HTTP 1.x and other browser protocols Plan for and deliver the best HTTP 2.0 performance Enable efficient real-time streaming in the browser Create efficient peer-to-peer videoconferencing and low-latency applications with real-time WebRTC transports

Title: Very informative with respect to networking
Review: I only bought this because I wanted a book that dealt with networking with a focus on applications and for me it filled this purpose well despite being a bit outdated in some respects. Apart from that it completes its goal of teaching readers how to achieve high-performance browser networking.

Title: A must-have book for anyone who is working with internet-related things
Review: This book provides essential fundamental knowledge about technology that enables the internet as we know it today. As you can see in the book Contents, the author covers all major topics related to modern networking, step-by-step explaining the history of the technology and how it works. Some of the things (e.g. TLS), might be quite complicated to understand doing wikipedia and blog-post reading, some of the things are "ok, I got it" until the time comes to do something and you realize that you didn't get it: the author does a brilliant job introducing terminology to reason about networking (latency, bandwidth, networks, etc...) and then walks through every topic applying the terminology.

Title: Mainly about latency
Review: Where does it come from and how to reduce it. Deep and solid book

Title: An elite book
Review: The book came in damn good shape. After leafing through my first impressions are really good. The author came up with a pretty list of things modern web developers need to know about some major web technologies. I highly recommend it.

Title: Smart, well written, and insightful
Review: I expected that this book might have some gems in it but I was unprepared for just how many gems there were. Wow. Ilya clearly knows the topical area incredibly well and he also knows how to bring the message out in very effective manner. Great book for anyone who is building networked applications. I learned a lot reading it and enjoyed the learning process.

Title: Five Star Book but Only One Problem
Review: First, let me state what I didn't like: the black & white pictures. Seriously. The online/kindle edition has color pictures & diagrams which actually enhance what the author is conveying. Now that I think about it, O'Reilly does that with all of their technical books; I wish they'd add color to the tangible tomes.Anyway, the book is without a doubt one of the best there is on the market. It covers relevant browser networking and where browser networking is heading - voice & video. Passing data is easy in comparison to the nuances of voice and video. This book helps sort it out. I especially liked the coverage of SSL/TLS and DTLS. The next generation of web browsers will be required to do lots more than what they did 8 years ago or even 18 years ago. Read the section on Certificate Authorities.

Title: Networking Fundamentals for Web Developers
Review: If you ever took a networking class or read a networking book (e.g. Computer Networking: A Top-down Approach) then you know that networking is a broad subject that covers many topics. As a software engineer developing web applications, many of these topics might not be relevant to your day-to-day work (but nonetheless interesting). Browser networking takes the networking parts that are relevant to software engineers day-to-day and lays them out in a clear and concise manner.I highly recommend this book to anyone with basic networking knowledge and experience developing web applications. For me, it created mental organization for many of the concepts that I already knew, but didn't see how they fit into the big picture.

Title: great information, very well written
Review: great information, very well written.but no skirting the fact that if you did not grow up wanting to be an engineer, reading an engineer manual is one of the consistent displeasures in life.

Review: The book is great. Really interesting content and how it’s written is entertaining enough not to be boring. But this print is very bad quality. Diagrams are not in colour. The copy I got at least is very low quality. It’s like I printed a pdf myself. I don’t know if there is another version available. But this quality is not acceptable for this price.

Review: Als Webentwickler mit fortgeschrittenen Kenntnissen über (mobile) WebApps muss ich sagen, dieses Buch ist sehr informativ und sehr gut strukturiert.Eine 100% Kaufempfehlung auch für Beginner.Wichtig zu erwähnen man lernt keine WebApps zu erstellen sondern das Verständnis und Hintergrundwissen über User- und Client- (Im Sinne der Applikation) als auch Serverseitige Performance und allem was dazu gehört.
