Meetup main site: http://www.meetup.com/Web-Performance-NY/ Registration: http://www.meetup.com/Web-Performance-NY/calendar/10172278/ PHP + DB, Hans Zaunere All modern web sites require persistent data storage and manipulation. New York PHP Managing Member Hans Zaunere will review common bottlenecks and best practices for keeping PHP and the database speedy and reliable.

PHP code profiling using XDebug, Gennady Feldman Xdebug is a very powerful PHP extension that should be in the toolbox of any PHP developer. In this quick presentation we will do a quick introduction into some of the things Xdebug is capable of and what it can do for you. We'll cover a number of Xdebug features like remote debugging and code profiling. Forget those print and echo statements as your debugging aids. Gennady will share some tips and tricks (time permitting) of how to be a more efficient and productive PHP developer. Front-end performance testing and optimizations, Sergey Chernyshev PHP code is executed on the server, but site performance is usually affected by many other factors as well and many of them are related to front end of your applications. Sergey Chernyshev, organizer of New York Web Performance Meetup will talk about ways PHP web-developers can measure their web application performance and what they can optimize to get good results quickly. He'll show how to see your bottlenecks and how to use browser cache effectively and how this affects your PHP code. Registration is required.

The mailing list is online: http://lists.nyphp.org/mailman/listinfo/symfony Subscribe for technical help, and to keep updated on the latest meetings and events related to Symfony. There is a new site in the works, and Ajai Khattri will be helping to organize the SIG. We welcome and encourage working with existing Symfony groups and meet-ups - please feel free to post your community events and discuss here, or contact us with any questions or to get involved. We're also reaching out to all PHP and web related meet-ups and groups, to centralize, share, and organize resources for the community at large. If you'd like a SIG formed, or if your existing group would be interested in working with NYPHP, contact us at http://www.nyphp.org/contact.php or subscribe to the NYPHP-Org mailing list and see more information here: http://lists.nyphp.org/mailman/private/org/2009-March/002875.html --- Hans Zaunere / Managing Member / New York PHP From hostmaster at nyphp.com Wed Jun 17 10:03:52 2009 From: hostmaster at nyphp.com (New York PHP) Date: Wed, 17 Jun 2009 10:03:52 -0400 Subject: [nycphp-announce] next@nyphp: Building Rich Internet Applications (RIAs) with Silverlight & PHP Message-ID: <010b01c9ef54$7229c080$567d4180$@com> June General Meeting: Building Rich Internet Applications (RIAs) with Silverlight & PHP ----------------------------------------------------------------- When: Tuesday, June 23rd at 6:30pm sharp (4th Tuesday of every month) Where: IBM, 590 Madison Avenue, Room 1219 (12th Floor) RSVP: http://www.nyphp.org/rsvp.php Even though Mother Nature may not know it's June, it is, and time for our June meeting. We'll welcome back Peter Laudati and Microsoft, to give us a refreshing "summer" refresher on the Silverlight and PHP play. In March 2007, Microsoft introduced Silverlight to the market as a new platform for developing rich internet applications. Silverlight is a cross-browser, cross-platform, and cross-device plug-in for delivering the next generation of media experiences and rich interactive applications for the Web. By using various tools, designers and developers can collaborate more effectively using the skills they have today to light up the Web of tomorrow. Silverlight is a client-side technology with no dependencies on the Microsoft web stack (.NET). Therefore, it can be a perfect complement to PHP applications. Come join us as we take a tour around Silverlight, including its capabilities, how to develop Silverlight applications, and the tools used. We'll also talk about how you can use Silverlight together with PHP to take user experiences to the next level! And join us at TGI Friday's at 56th and Lexington after the meeting for FREE food and drink, thanks to Microsoft. Peter Laudati is a Developer Evangelist with Microsoft. In his current role, Peter works with the developer community in New York and New Jersey to support area user groups, code camps, and other events. Previously, he worked as a consultant in Microsoft's services division. As a consultant, he worked on several application development projects and provided architectural guidance for large customers throughout the NY & NJ metro area. He lives with his family in central New Jersey and loves kayaking and biking at the Jersey Shore. His blog can be read at http://www.peterlaudati.com. Thank you to IBM for providing a great presentation space in Midtown Manhattan. As a service to our community, New York PHP Community meetings are always free and open to the public.
