Day in brief

  • Woke up with no hangover what so ever. That is very suspicious. Upgraded to Fedora 12. Now for breakfast and more talks. #ipc09 #
  • Stress-free deployment talk for me to kick off the last day of #ipc09 #
  • Automatic deployment of database scheme changes. Tools: dbdeploy, LiquiBase, Doctrine. #ipc09 #
  • During deployments, put up a "under maintenance" page. Remove when deployment went through. #ipc09 #
  • Phing – PHP based build system based on Ant. Integrated with Subversion and DbDeploy. #ipc09 #
  • If you are going to use Phing, grab the beta and use it together with the alpha version of the SVN pear package. #ipc09 #
  • Waiting for the CouchDB and PHPillow talk to start. #ipc09 #
  • "CouchDB is a paradigm shift" #ipc09 . Question: with or without a clutch? #
  • Versioning and conflict control in CouchDB look quite useful. #ipc09 #
  • Book recommended : CouchDB The Definitive Guide http://www.amazon.com/CouchDB-…..0596155891 #ipc09 #
  • Keynote was in German, so we went out and into a city. Had lunch and beers there as well. Coming back for more sessions now. #ipc09 #
  • "Caching for performance" starts now in clubraum. #
  • Rob Allen is covering Siege http://www.joedog.org/index/siege-home in his "caching for performance" talk. #ipc09 #
  • Everyone in the room is using an op-code cache (like APC). I suspect some people actually don't. :) #ipc09 #
  • Use Expires and Cache-Control HTTP headers. Don't use meta tags. #ipc09 #
  • By using 'public' in Cache-Control header you can force the browser to cache SSL encrypted pages. #ipc09 #
  • Going for "How to finally test your legacy code nightmares" #ipc09 #
  • "Manual testing is immoral" says @dagfinnr . #ipc09 #
  • Is there any socializing happing today after the last session? Beer / party / anything? :) #ipc09 #
  • Use Selenium with either PHPUnit or SimpleTest to test web apps. SimpleTest is better since it won't start a browser window. #ipc09 #
  • And #ipc09 is finished now. Thanks to everyone who made it happen! #
