Teaching Falcon to Fly

Falcon is a new web framework specifically designed for creating lean, high-performance HTTP APIs.

The difference between efficient and inefficient code can mean the difference between a good user experience and a poor one, or the difference between a profitable product and a financial disaster. In this talk, I'll introduce the Falcon web framework, and share some of the performance patterns I discovered while developing the framework.

+1 - I'd view this.

With that said, some concrete suggestions:

• Could you find some juicy examples of inefficient products and compare them to efficient products?
• Could you describe the process you used to arrive at these performance patterns?
• Are these performance patterns context-sensitive, e.g., when are the trade-offs appropriate? When do they apply?

More ideas:

• Who's using Falcon, and for what kinds of projects?
• Why not just use X instead?
• Walk through code examples showing how to use falcon, and highlighting some of its features
