About the Book
THIS IS A BETA VERSION OF THE BOOK THAT IS STILL IN PROGRESS.
If you purchase today you will have instant access to the book in progress as well as a lock in your price for the release version.
ZURB Foundation Front End Performance Guide is a short, concise and to the point explanation of modern Front End Optimization techniques and specifically how to implement them with the ZURB Foundation 5 Framework.
I am the author of ZURB Foundation Blueprints (Packt) and I care deeply about creating sites and apps that have a great UX. Today, performance is a critical component of good UX and one of the key components to user engagement.
This book assumes no knowledge of Front End Optimization techniques and introduces each concept. If you are a seasoned pro, you can read up on how to specially optimize the framework in a variety of situations and also take a look at my use cases.
