Preface
Images are are one of the best ways to communicate. So it’s understandable that you might feel hoodwinked when you pick up a book filled with words discussing images. Rest assured, you will not be let down. Images are everywhere on the Web—from user-generated content to product advertisement to journalism to security. The creation, design, layout, processing, and delivery of images are no longer the exclusive domain of creative teams. Images on the Web are everyone’s concern.
This book focuses on the essentials of what you need to deliver high performance images on the Internet. This is a very broad topic and covers many domains: color theory, image formats, storage and management, operations delivery, browser and application behavior, responsive web, and many topics in between. With this knowledge we hope that you can glean useful tips, tricks, and practical theory that will help you grow your business as you deliver high performance images.
