Comments on: Why I’m developing with Yahoo Astra http://www.baylus.com/why-im-developing-with-yahoo-astra/ Asa Baylus is a Website Designer working in Washington DC Wed, 25 Jan 2012 12:53:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1.2 By: Anonymous http://www.baylus.com/why-im-developing-with-yahoo-astra/comment-page-1/#comment-113 Anonymous Wed, 25 Jan 2012 12:53:00 +0000 http://www.baylus.com/?p=259#comment-113 @Morcvert it's been a couple of years since we built our carousel. The only part of our site which uses Astra components is our homepage carousel. I certainly would not use flash again given that the current landscape which has changed very significantly in the intervening time. That said I'm currently build some tooling to evaluate our carousels performance from our end users perspective. From our developers workstations on avg I believe the preload for the carousel itself is aprox .5-1 sec in parrallel to other site content. which is not too bad. Of course that time does not include the actual slide content. Once we've had a change to get some user data collected I'll post again. The Astra components I've used are of good quality, though somewhat wheighty. @Morcvert it’s been a couple of years since we built our carousel.
