Hi, here's the newsletter from O'Reilly. The book "Even faster websites" by Steve Souders is awesome. The DSM Web Geeks group has one floating around (try at Impromptu) but the $10 special price on the e-book version is very tempting. It is a follow-up to the book "high performance websites" which is also on sale herein. Both are very practical, approachable books and scale from basic, simple techniques to advanced techniques.<div>

Speed is another key criterion. The books in this bundle were written by people at major Web properties who bear on their shoulders the job of keeping the sites responsive. Their insights will help you do the same for your site.</p>
