Lightning Demos
Demos from dynaTrace, Firebug, YSlow, and Page Speed.
dynaTrace software Inc.
dynaTrace is the innovator and emerging leader in application performance management (APM). The company offers the only continuous APM system on the market – one that can monitor all transactions at all times and one that is used by all key contributors to application performance – architects, development, test and production. More than 200 customers including Sears, Pershing, Renault, Zappos, BBVA, Fidelity, and Thomson Reuters use dynaTrace’s patent pending technology to gain deep visibility into application performance, identify problems sooner and reduce the mean time to repair issues by 90%. Leading companies rely on dynaTrace to proactively prevent performance problems from happening and quickly resolve those that do occur – saving time, money and resources.
Firebug
The Firebug Velocity demo will feature new features in the Net panel, new comprehensive breakpoint support, and a sneek peek at our next version. In Firebug 1.5 we reimplemented the Net panel to dramatically improve the timing accuracy and to support exporting the traffic analysis info. The export format (HAR) was designed to be flexible enough so, it can be adopted across projects and various tools. We added breakpoint support for every panel: I’ll demo using Javascript breakpoints from XHR events and Cookies. Firebug 1.6 integrates Firebug extensions to give you a jolt of new features all pretested with Firebug.

John J. Barton
IBM
John J. Barton is the manager of Interaction Science, an IBM Almaden Research group specializing in fundamentals of human-computer interaction (HCI) technologies, especially multi-device interaction. Interaction Science studies users, invents new techniques and technology, then validates progress by scientific tests with real users. Current projects in my group include text input on handheld devices, integration of information across devices via instant messaging, adapting web pages for mobile devices, and extending web debugging to support more dynamic applications and environments.
John has 21 years of experience in industrial research with over 60 publications in the diverse fields of ubiquitious and mobile computing, compiler technology and programming languages, physics of electron scattering, and chemistry on surfaces. After early work in quantum chemistry at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Lab in Pasadena CA, he got his MS in Applied Physics at Caltech and moved to Berkeley. There he worked at the Lawrence Berkeley Lab and got his PhD at UC Berkeley. John joined the Physics department at IBM Watson to work on Photoelectron Holography, moving to Computer Science in 1991 to work on C++ compilers and co-author a book, “Advanced C++”, with Lee Nackman. John managed the Jikes Java Research Virtual Machine team until 1998 when he moved to HP Labs Palo Alto where he was part of the Cooltown web-based ubiquitious computing project. When he isn’t playing computer games with his sons or working on his deck, he contributes to the Firebug open-source Javascript debugger.

I love these lightning demos! For me, I can tell within a few minutes of seeing a tool in use whether it’s going to work for me. Here you get a quick glimpse at four tools. dynaTrace Ajax Edition is fairly new, but is getting great accolades – read John Resig’s endorsement . Everyone knows and loves Firebug – JJB tells use what’s new. Stoyan, one of the strongest voices in the world of web performance, shows us the latest in YSlow . Page Speed is another performance analysis tool that is very strong – I always run Page Speed and YSlow whenever I analyze a site. Bryan will talk about new stuff there, and hopefully mention the Page Speed SDK.
