Steve Souders is Yahoo’s chief guru in the art and science of web performance and the author of the YSlow plugin for Firebug; he is the author of High Performance Web Sites, a forthcoming title from O’Reilly (bonus points if you can guess which animal O’Reilly’s editors chose for the cover of this one…). For the past three years, Steve has led a team investigating the root causes of poor page performance and applying the lessons learned to Yahoo!’s high-traffic, media-rich properties.

Nate Koechley is the author of the YUI Library’s CSS components — Reset, Fonts, Grids, and Base. Nate has been at Yahoo since 2001 where he was among the first pure web developers.

In addition to engineering our CSS components, Nate has been one of our most visible contributors at conferences, where he’s spokeon on a wide range of frontend engineering topics.
