"Image Performance is an entertaining, practical introduction to the finer details of image compression and performance online. The topic isn't simple, but after reading this book, you could be forgiven for thinking it is-Mat's just that good at explaining it." -TIM KADLEC
"When working with images on a website, your job is akin to that of a sommelier's. Crafting the final product, like pairing wine with food, requires both technical skill and artistic subjectivity. Get it right and the website looks and works great; get it wrong, and the whole experience suffers. Mat will help you get it right." -CHRIS COYIER
