Richard Davies wrote: The UK has a good crop of technology pioneers in cloud computing - for example ElasticHosts, FlexiScale, Flexiant, OnApp - and also some strong government initiatives such as G-Cloud.
We will have to see whether this kind of technical leadership converts into swift mass-market adoption or not.
This week Keynote Systems announced a Fast Web Race contest. According to the site the purpose of the contest is to improve the overall performance of many web sites by sharing best practices and real world examples.
"Everyday we work with Web dev and ops communities and we see a lot of the same performance issues come up. We think there’s an opportunity to share best practices with the community using real world examples."
There's nothing better than sharing what you've learned with a community, isn't that what DevCentral is all about. I am looking forward to seeing the results from this contest and welcome any additional sharing and collaboration in the field of web application performance.
