Rasmus Lerdorf in Houston! -- Houston PHP Users Group June Meetup
Alert Logic, Inc. (map)
Rasmus Lerdorf, creator of the PHP language, will be in Houston in June and graciously volunteered to do a presentation to our group! Sorry about the last minute modification, but we will need to move our meeting from our usual date/time to Wednesday June 10th at 6:00pm. The presentation details below from Rasmus himself:
------------
Architecture, Performance, Optimization and Security.
I take a look at the performance of some popular PHP applications and go
through and show the common mistakes people make and show how much of a
difference just a little bit of optimization makes.
Then, if there is still time and interest I'll explain the current state
of XSS on the Web with some live examples of XSS issues on some local
sites. I usually like to have 2-3 hours, but I can squeeze it into less.
-------------
I hope to see you all here for this great opportunity!

Marc,
Yes we will put the video online, but it might take us a few days to do it. I'll send an email announcement when we have it ready for you all.

Try and top that. He covered several significant PHP related topics in depth within a single 4 hour session. Like an angry parent, he called out bad practices all of us are guilty of.
Watch the video if you didn't make it. Heck, watch the video again anyways.

Clint ValusekAwesome presentation! Already gained some performance using Rasmus's profiling techniques.

Tim MartinAwesome! Rasmus covered quite a range of topics. I was really surprised at some of his views on frameworks and template engines but he did back them up with real statistics. Definitely will be at least reconsidering some of my practices. Thanks again to Rasmus & Joao!
