Keynote
K.I.S.S. ("Keep It Simple, Stupid")
Derick Rethans eZ systems
One of PHP's strengths has always been its low barrier-of-entry. It's also one of its weaknesses however. In this keynote I will talk about the first steps of getting to know PHP, its community and developers. Of course times have changed and we are in the Web 2.0 era now, but the KISS principle still applies; for application design, for UI design and for server set-ups. I will also take you to the application development side of the KISS principle, with simpler architectures you can more easily make powerful complex applications.
"To Drizzle" MySQL
Brian Aker Sun Microsystems
One of the most common databases to developers, MySQL, got forked again, to bring back the original spirit of Open Source to the MySQL Community. The International PHP Conference invited Brian Aker, one of the leading forces behind this move, to talk about how "to Drizzle" MySQL.
Re-architecting the Web with HTML 5 Communication
Jonas Jacobi Kaazing
The world revolves around the Web and the networks that support it. Now, after 25 years, the Web is about to take a gigantic leap forward (if we let it) and forever change the way in which we build applications for the Web. Web applications have traditionally been seen as second tier citizens in our network infrastructure, not capable of fully participate in the backend message infrastructure due to its stateless architecture. One innovation - HTML 5 WebSockets - in particular will enable full-duplex HTTP communication, and finally bring an end to the tired “click and wait” paradigm traditionally associated with the Web, and allow browsers to become first class citizens in our network. In this session, Kaazing’s CEO will offer his company’s vision of the future of the Web, Web technologies, address the importance of browser support of the HTML 5 standard, and offer insight into the key role developers’ play in HTML 5's proliferation and the impact on the end users.
