Intl PHP Conference Slides

Mon, 4 Jun 2007 14:24 UTC

I’ve been neglecting for far too long to post these slides, and I’ve been reminded several times by conference attendees that I need to post them. Thank you for the reminders, and I apologize that it has taken me this long to post these. Links to the slides are below…

I once again found myself in Germany—Ludwigsburg, specifically—for the International PHP Conference, Spring Edition. This location was much better than the hotel/conference location in Frankfurt because it was right in the town of Ludwigsburg. This made it easy to walk around, sight-see, and find things to do outside of the conference.

This time around, I gave two talks: Designing RESTful Web Applications and Give Your Site A Boost With memcached. Overall, I was very proud of these talks, especially the one on REST. The REST talk has been growing and changing over the last few times I’ve given it, and, now, I think it’s maturing into an excellent discussion of REST theory coupled with practical tips on designing a RESTful application. Perhaps I’ll spend some more time talking about REST on this blog in the coming weeks and months.

For now, enjoy the slides:

• Designing RESTful Web Applications (PDF, 2.1 MB)

• Give Your Site A Boost With memcached (PDF, 2.2 MB)

MySQL ComCon

Wed, 8 Sep 2004 10:05 UTC

This morning, via Zak, I heard about MySQL ComCon, which occurs concurrently with International PHP Conference in Frankfurt, Germany. Both conferences are hosted by the good folks at Software & Support Verlag.

Zak’s special recipe for the conference is:

Recipe for MySQL ComCon Europe 2004: Take equal parts kick-ass MySQL community event and MySQL mission-critical business event. Add key MySQL community members and developers. Drop in three days in November (8th to 10th). Shake well. Serve ice cold at http://mysqlcomconeurope.com/.

I think I prefer mine at room temp, however, but that’s just a matter of personal preference.

Unfortunately, unless I take up a collection and convince my boss to give me the week off, I’ll not be able to attend, but it definitely sounds like something I’d check out.
