June User Group:: jQuery podcast

jQuery is a concise open source JavaScript Library used for Document Object Model (DOM) traversal, event handling, Ajax requests, and animations. Whether you're new to JavaScript entirely or experienced with JavaScript but looking to shorten and simplify your code, jQuery is a framework you'll want to be familiar with.

This month, John Resig, the creator and lead developer of the jQuery JavaScript library introduced us to his framework with examples written PHP, including discussion of several different PHP frameworks that use jQuery such as Wordpress, Drupal, and CakePHP.

Podcast - Designing, deploying and operating high-traffic PHP

We've all heard about PHP in high volume applications like Yahoo, Facebook, and Wikipedia, etc. but how many of us really know what it's like to run "consumer grade" websites. To answer that question, we asked Jack Steadman, Manager of Architectural Development at Smarter Travel Media to share his experiences running high volume PHP. Smarter Travel Media LLC operates two high-traffic PHP sites, SmarterTravel.com and BookingBuddy.com, which together serve millions of page views per week. During his presentation, Jack discussed many of the design decisions that were made to maximize performance as traffic scales upward.

We had over 70 people attend Jack's session, if you weren't one of them you can Listen Now! (slides: bostonphp20080507 152.91 Kb)
