Far from what I expected and the guy "euhs" way too much to stay focussed.
Keeping Web Applications Lean and Mean
Robert Brouwer (Jun 12, 2009)
Talk at Dutch PHP Conference 2009 (English - US)
This presentation gives practical examples of pitfalls in developing high performance web-applications. It highlights different ways to approach application monitoring, and discusses their pros and cons. Examples of areas that impact application performance will be analyzed, including web servers, networks, PHP scripts, URL arguments, user-agents, page layout and more. This talk shows how monitoring can expose the way users really interact with your web site.
Oracle's "Real User Experience Insight" will be shown briefly, and an overview of its PHP-based reporting engine given. RUEI is a standalone web-application monitoring tool invented and created in the Netherlands, and recently acquired by Oracle.

This was the worst talk I attended, had barely anything to do with PHP or webdevelopment in general, but more with sysadmin stuff. The IE7-crashing-a-backend-story was a complete fail. The only thing Robert could say about it "I've read it somewhere on the internet, just look it up yourself".

Agree with schmkr, expected a lot more from this talk.

Very catchy title. But content and description doesn´t match the title of it.
I still don´t know how to keep an app lean and mean. I do know what their Oracle product does.. but that wasnt really what keeps an app lean and mean?
"Oracle's "Real User Experience Insight" will be shown briefly" .. this wasn´t briefly at all. To my knowledge, it was shown during the whole talk.
Presentation was hard to follow as well because of the many ´euhs´ and no motivation in his voice. Better interaction with the audience please and a different title and description?

Same for me I'm afraid. I expected a lot more from this, given the title, and left feeling like it was really a sales pitch for Oracle's monitoring platform.
I also felt the methods suggested here for various things were a bit back to front and the suggested 'issues' of high traffic sites / apps can mostly be taken care of in the development environment by employing profiling, load testing etc. Disappointing.

Not quite what I expected from it. Network optimization has nothing to do with Lean&Mean applications. The IE7-thing was an unexpected fact, indeed.
