Northeast PHP 2016

Appreciated the explanation of caching technologies, from early days to current tech.
Also appreciated the energy and whit Samantha brought to this talk.

Very interesting talk covering all the basics. Docker isn't so scary anymore!

Excellent reminder of why PHP powers 80% of the web and why PHP and its community are so unique. And why just about everyone who makes the effort to attend a PHP conference has probably contributed in some way whether they realize it or not.

Also a timely offering of perspective about how PHP is a product of its community and to continue attracting new productive members we need to call out bad behavior and discourage it regardless of how "important" a person might be.

"The culture of any organization is shaped by the worst behavior the leader is willing to tolerate."
In this case the "leader" is all of us.

Explaining what the broader community looks like is huge at every conference; it's easy to lose sight of the bigger picture at times.

The `fopen()`/`fclose()` functions in PHP aren't used very often, but are hugely useful if you want to store temporary data as presented. Great resource!

Would have enjoyed a deeper dive into the security concerns around using these mechanisms with user input, though.

Great overview, great examples!
