Today, a web page can be delivered to desktop computers, televisions, or handheld devices like tablets or phones. While a technique like responsive design helps ensure that our web sites look good across that spectrum of devices we may forget that we need to make sure that our web sites also perform well across that same spectrum. More and more of our users are shifting their Internet usage to these more varied platforms and connection speeds with some moving entirely to mobile Internet. In this session we’ll look at the tools that can help you understand, measure and improve the web performance of your web sites and applications. The talk will also discuss how new server-side techniques might help us optimize our front-end performance. Finally, since the best way to test is to have devices in your hand, we’ll discuss some tips for getting your hands on them cheaply. This presentation builds upon Dave’s “Optimization for Mobile” chapter in Smashing Magazine’s “The Mobile Book.” This talk was given at the Responsive Web Design Summit hosted by Environments for Humans.

The document provides an overview of the Apache web server architecture. It describes how Apache uses a modular design with core components that define basic functionality and modules that implement request processing steps. The core handles HTTP connections and passes requests between modules. Modules can extend Apache's capabilities without changing the core. This modular design improves security, robustness and customization.

Users don’t care where their data lives. They just want to get their work done quickly and efficiently. They would prefer to do their work without opening three different applications and five different browser tabs. That means your applications need to share data and work well with other applications. So what can you do? Use XPages and Java, of course! Kathy and Julian will give you integration tips and examples of connecting your XPages apps to both IBM and non IBM technologies. Walk away with a head full of knowledge and a sample database full of working code. NOTE: this session is geared towards XPages and Java developers, beginners welcome! A presentation from Julian Robichaux (panagenda) and Kathy Brown (PSC Group).

This document discusses how to scale PHP applications to meet high demand. It begins by noting that large companies like Facebook and Wikipedia use PHP. It then outlines several techniques for scaling PHP, including: using opcode caches to improve performance; storing sessions in a database rather than disk; leveraging in-memory data caches like Memcached and Redis; doing blocking work in background tasks via queues; and utilizing HTTP caching with a reverse proxy cache. The document emphasizes that performance is important for user experience and business results, and that these techniques can help PHP applications handle high traffic loads.
