SUMMARY:HTTP's Best-Kept Secret: Caching
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Ryan Tomayko (GitHub). HTTP's basic caching mec

 a clear and simple explanation of how HTTP caching works, put forth a sy
 stem for classifying response cacheability, and argue that HTTP caching 
 should be a fundamental aspect of resource design.

SUMMARY:And the Greatest of These Is ... Rack Support
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Ben Scofield (Heroku). The benefits of Rack sup

 n this session, we'll see how to set up this integration and explore rea
 l examples of how it can be used—including the rehabilitation of page ca
 ching.
