PHP Vikinger

Saturday, June 24. 2006

Less than an hour ago the PHP Vikinger 2006 unconference started. So far we've been dicussing what topics we're going discuss during today and tomorrow. Zak organized the event.

What's really amazing is that I'm sorrounded by really smart people; Rasmus Lerdorf the inventor of PHP is also attending.

Update( 1:30 PM ): The first discussion revolved around scalability and scalable architecture. The main point that Rasmus mentioned is to 'partition' your application. His example was Yahoo's mail; basicly every component of the service is split on a seperate server farm. e.g. address book component is quite seperate from sending mail. and it actually sits on a different server farm. He also mentioned that Yahoo has 110,000 servers!!!!!

Update( 2:45 PM ): Marcus Boerger gave an introduction to the reflection API. I'm bored of doing the updates... So I think I'll stop now
