Catching up on ZendCon

Friday, October 30th, 2009

Last week our very own Helgi was at ZendCon in San José, California. He was there as a speaker to talk about Frontend Caching and “PEAR2 and Pyrus”

The first talk I gave was about frontend caching and how you can get the most speed out of your website by optimizing the various bits of the frontend.

Make sure to catch “The aftermath” on Helgi’s blog as you may get a better idea of what we do in conferences and what happens in general! :)

How to build an API in 5 minutes

FRAPI handles standard API things like authentication and data formatting, and speeds up the API development process — like the way ZF or Symfony for PHP, Django for Python, JQuery for JavaScript (or, I suppose even Ruby on Rails ;-p ), does for other technologies.

David Coallier put together a quick 5 minute screencast to show you how you can use FRAPI to start building your API. (more…)
