ZendCon 2009 Uncon
19 - 22 Oct 2009 at San Jose, California

I am definitely interested in practical caching options.

I would be very interested in this.

Whether you are interested in adopting Doctrine or not, this sort of discussion can be really helpful. Doctrine is designed to solve common problems, so I guarantee the concepts presented here would be beneficial to a lot of people.

This seems cool, I'd really be interested in how people handle caching of database results in real scenarios where you are doing joins and returning more than just one tables worth of information.

Given the amount of performance problems in websites I encounter recently, I would like to see every php developer attend this talk :-)

@anonymous3,


I feel sad you compare this session with the keynote talk at DPC09 about Digg, because it isn't.

Community involvement is more then just a user group, it's all about you!!! If you're doing PHP for a living, you might want to share solutions you have found working out complex projects on a blog or newsletter, if you have some dead time on your hands, you might want to help out the PHP team by testing the PHP core or write some documentation, fixing bugs for your favorite framework or library, provide support on IRC or IM, etc...

This talk is about how PHPBenelux motivated it's members to participate, becoming involved in the eco system that makes PHP PHP. If community is not your thing, that's ok. But do check out the session, because you're probably involved already and no one pointed it out to you.

to @anonymous3,


The talk I gave at DPC was indeed too short, lacked proper benchmarks and didn't went into detail why SPL is the way to go. I talked to the people attending my session there and learned about the things they wanted to see next time.

So in preparation of phpNW09 conference and the uncon at ZendCon09, I modified my presentation using more "real life" examples, explaining why one chooses SPL over normal coding and above all, using more PHP 5.3 stuff in it.

If you have remarks and/or suggestions, please let me know... because I want to provide "correct" and "informative" information people can build upon.

I definitely want to see this, just so I can argue with you about it.

intrigued.
