Greets UPHPU, Our meeting this month is this Thursday at 7p.
Scaling your Database or other resources your website needs can be complicated. Why not reduce their load instead? That is where memcached can help. Developed by the creators of LiveJournal, memcached is a light weight application that does one thing extremely well: caching data in memory and retrieving it very fast. This presentation will cover the basics of memcached and then explain some caching theory and best practices for using memcache. Topics to be covered at: - What is Memcached? - How can it help my website? - Installing - Configuring & Running - Basic Workflow - Best Practices w/ Keys - What to Cache - When to Cache - Expiring Data - Wrapping Caches with a Class - Security - Question & Answer Session Justin Carmony has worked in web development professionally for the last five years.
