Edmunds.com API: Driving Innovation and Partnership with Open Data

Google Tech Talk: How Edmunds Reduced Page Load Time by 80%!

I was invited to speak at Google on some of the work I’ve done at Edmunds. The crowd was engaged and the questions were great. It’s very humbling to be surrounded by really smart people that like what you do.
