Modernes PHP im Einsatz.

Symfony ist ein mächtiges und sehr flexibles PHP Framework zum Entwickeln von Web Applikationen. Die Grundarchitektur ist um das HTTP Request/Response Modell aufgebaut. Einzelne Symfony-Komponente können zudem separat in anderen PHP Anwendungen verwendet werden.
Auf den modularen Bibliotheken von Symfony bauen auch andere wichtige Frameworks auf, die bekanntesten sind Drupal (ab Version 8), ezPublish und Laravel.

Title: Going crazy with caching: Caching pages of logged in users
Links: Slides, joind.in

You know how HTTP caching works but need more? In this talk we look into ways to cache personalized content. We will look at Edge Side Includes (ESI) to tailor caching rules of fragments, and at the user context concept to differentiate caches not by individual user but by permission groups. A big help to leverage this concept is the FOSHttpCache in combination with either Varnish or the Symfony HttpCache class.

Title: Hands-on: HTTP caching with Varnish
Links: Slides, joind.in

For some scenarios, Varnish is the silver bullet to fix performance issues and go from slow site to lightning fast site. More often though, you will need to put some effort into your application to get good results. Ideally, you design your application to play well with caching from the outset. If you don't know what you are doing, Varnish can also be the bullet to shoot yourself in the foot.

workshop varnish http caching conference

I was in Amsterdam at DPC and did two workshops, one on the Symfony CMF and another on Http caching with Varnish. I also did a regular talk to introduce to Http caching. The Varnish workshop and talk I did together with David de Boer, who is co-authoring the FOSHttpCache and -Bundle with me.
Additionally, before the conference I went to Leeuwarden to present the CMF at a meetup of the PHP Friesland user group.

Das Content Management Framework baut auf Symfony2 auf. Es besteht aus einer Sammlung von Bundles um einfach und bequem Content Management in Symfony2 Projekte einzubauen. Die Bundles bieten Grundfunktionen wie editierbare Menüs, URLs und Inhalte. Ich zeige wie man mit dem CMF loslegt und praktische Features nutzt wie das transparente Handling von mehrsprachigen Inhalten.

Title: HTTP Caching with Varnish
Links: Slides, joind.in

With the Varnish caching proxy, you can make slow websites blazingly fast. The basics are quite simple once you understand how the cache handling in HTTP works. For starters, we will look into HTTP and the Varnish configuration. The main course is going to be cache invalidation and the cache tagging strategy. For dessert, there will be an introduction to edge side includes (ESI) - all liberally sprinkled with examples from the FOSHttpCache library and some ideas from the FOSHttpCacheBundle for Symfony2.
