Apache vs. Nginx by Jakob Oberhummer
A round-trip through web-servers (Apache, Nginx, lightHTTP, lightspeed), how they work, workers/events/threadbased, a short history to each of them, performance differences, pros and cons, tweaks and useful tips.
Grunt.js for PHP Developers by Florian Eckerstorfer
Grunt.js is a task runner written in JavaScript that everyone is talking about. It is not only hip, but also highly extensible which makes it a great choice for any kind of language. Considering that most PHP projects have frontend related tasks (Sass/Less compilation, minification, concatenation and so on) it makes even more sense to use a modular and extensible solution that fits all kind of tasks. My mini talk will give you a short introduction how Grunt.js works and how you can use it in your PHP projects.
After Gathering Party by Stockwerk
After the gathering we will have a little party in the kitchen/bar of Stockwerk in the 1. floor, having some drinks and snacks and socializing.
