Talks

This presentation is an introduction to caching techniques that can be used in a PHP project to increase performance. We look at a variety of caching techniques, showing practical implementations and before and after statistics. Cache storage options available and when you might use one over another will be covered and we also address how to get browsers to cache content for us.

This presentation discusses Zend Framework’s capabilities and what it has to offer the developer. We explore Zend Framework’s MVC components and look at how they fit together. Finally we build a simple Zend Framework MVC application from scratch so that we can look in detail at the code.

This session was a 1.5 hour joint session where three of us gave a short 20 minute presentation on three different frameworks and then took questions as a panel. I talked on Zend Framework, Ian Christian talked on Symfony and Toby Beresford talked on Code Igniter.

My first user group talk – given at PHPWM.
