Here the notes I took during the Dutch PHP conference 2010 (#dpc10). They're not a representative
summary of the event's highlights cause I could only attend 1 of 4 talks at any given time.
I also filtered out things that didn't interest me personally.
When you're debugging a tough problem you sometimes need to analyze the
HTTP traffic flowing between your machine and a webserver or proxy.
Sometimes you can use firebug or chrome inspector for that. But here's a
lowlevel alternative that I'm pretty excited about. Meet Tshark.
Some time ago I was in the situation where I was looking at 200 MyISAM tables
screaming to get converted to InnoDB for performance reasons.
You probably know that MyISAM is better at full-text searches and such,
but what I needed was this database stop locking entire tables when I was
just doing row-level interactions. Here's how I did **in one go**.
Don't know Redis? Think Memcache, with support for
for lists, and disk-based storage.
You can use Redis as a database, queue, cache server or all of those combined.
Let's see how you can use this power in your PHP apps.
