Open Hack Day, we're pleased to have a special presentation from YDN Senior Developer, Tom Hughes-Croucher. NOTE: RSVP is not required but please arrive early to reserve a seat. Why is mobile different to desktop? When it comes to data there are lots of difference such as processing and most importantly data transmission. Our goal as developers should always be to make the fastest apps possible, however mobile adds a lot of constraints to the platforms we are used to developing for on the desktop. This talk will focus how you can avoid the problems that network latency creates by being smart with your server implementation. Tom Hughes-Croucher is an Evangelist and Senior Developer in Yahoo's Open Strategy Group, focusing on Yahoos Web Services and Cloud Platform. Tom has contributed to a number of Web standards for the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) and the British Standards Institute (BSI). Previously he helped build the online music stores for some of the UK's largest brands including Tesco, Three Telecom and Channel 4.

Please check out the new site for details: http://www.bootup.io/ It's a unique and interesting spin on entrepreneurs, engineering, and start-ups. We have two presentation slots now available for Bootup #3, Wed. Oct 14th. It's been generating quite a buzz and have been fun events for developers and startups alike - something a little different from the typical presentation. Since already outgrowing our previous venue, we're pleased to have seating for 100+ thanks to Sun Microsystems. Don't forget to RSVP as we're looking forward to the biggest and best Bootup yet. Please submit your pitches ASAP to lock in a slot. The site contains details for how to submit. And for developers, simply RSVP and we'll see you there. RSVP is still required at meetup.com: http://www.meetup.com/new-york-php/calendar/11372523/ You may email me directly or Contact Us through www.bootup.io to submit your pitch, or with any other questions. --- Hans Zaunere Managing Member / www.bootup.io / www.nyphp.org From hostmaster at nyphp.com Mon Oct 19 14:03:00 2009 From: hostmaster at nyphp.com (New York PHP) Date: Mon, 19 Oct 2009 14:03:00 -0400 Subject: [nycphp-announce] next@nyphp: Saving Mongos with MongoDB and PHP Message-ID: <01e801ca50e6$658a8f00$309fad00$@com> Check out our new Bootup events at www.bootup.io October General Meeting: Saving Mongos with MongoDB and PHP ---------------------------------- Date: October 27th, 2009 at 6:30PM (sharp) Location: IBM, 590 Madison Avenue, New York, NY (12th Floor) RSVP Required: http://www.nyphp.org/RSVP (all attendees MUST RSVP) Post-Meeting: TGI Fridays at Lexington and 56th (about 8pm) We love Fall - especially since Summer is such a dud - because it's all about transition and this month we're looking at how web-supporting database systems are transitioning. We welcome Kristina Chodorow of MongoDB, and MongoDB PHP extension author, to review these new database trends, and give us her two mongos as to whether the hot days of the RDBMS are being replaced by the brisk days of the document database management system (DDBMS anyone?). In the last couple of years, dozens of non-relational databases have appeared to solve problems that relational databases aren't good at. Kristina will briefly cover the different types databases available and what their benefits, drawbacks, and features are. Most of the talk will focus on creating fast, scalable PHP applications by using MongoDB, an easy-to-learn document-oriented database. She will use the MongoDB PHP driver to demonstrate how to write a Twitter-like application that scales with users, friending, and messaging. She will also demonstrate how to use the database as a file store by creating a Flickr-like application. Kristina Chodorow is a software engineer at MongoDB. She wrote and maintains the MongoDB PHP driver. Read the full description and RSVP at the "new" http://www.nyphp.org/ Thank you to IBM for providing a great presentation space in Midtown Manhattan.
