Most of my newsletter content is for the more experienced developer, but when I see an entry level intro to performance that covers a good variety of what you need to know, I include that. One such talk, by Sunny Chan, is included below.

The tips from such talks are always appplicable and often useful as a reminder even for non-entry level dev.

Now on to all the usual newsletter list of links, tips, tools, talks and news, and as usual I've extracted all the tips, including from that intro talk, into this month's tips page
