SydPHP May 2015 meetup

Hey SydPHP!

We're hosting the meetup one week earlier than usual so make sure to save the date!

Speakers

Andre Wyrwa: TCP, HTTP & mobile PerformanceAndre is a Senior Software Engineer at THE ICONIC

A short trip into the lower layers of networking and their implications for initial page load performance over mobile carriers. You will hear about RTT, congestion windows, chunked transfer encoding, how HTTP2 will help and how to utilise that knowledge when developing PHP applications served to mobile devices.

Jack Skinner: Static sites & blog automation

Jack will show off the static site generator sculpin, and his CI/CD pipeline to 52 edge points around the world!

With all the bells and whistles of a CMS, we forget about simple, static HTML. In this talk reintroduce you to the concept of a static site, how to build one (using PHP of course) and deployment techniques to manage it. It's a personal story demonstrating using sculpin, markdown, twig, CI and CDN's.
