1337 means "elite", and is slightly self-referential, in that "1337 speak" ("elite/leet speak") is the practice or replacing letters with numbers. For example, "elite", mutated into "leet", uses l=1, 3=e, and 7=t, assuming that you see the visual similarities between l and 1, etc. So "1337 Guide" is a tongue-in-cheek title meaning "Elite Guide". The tips in there are more optimizations and tricks; I usually recommend that beginner coders (or, in your case, coders brushing up their skills) start with unoptimized but easy-to-understand code, then work their way gradually into optimizing their code.
