Cache is King

[Ricky Wiens]

When: Tuesday, Apr 30 @ 5:30-7:00 PM (pizza/networking @ 5:30, presentation @ 6:00)

Where: Tipping Canoe (601-62 Albert St., Winnipeg)

What: You can cache everything. OK, maybe that isn't exactly true, but it may be truer than you think. We will discuss caching techniques to speed up your user experiences with a mix of back end and front end, and hopefully a nice balance of code and theory. Memcached will be our primary focus in this talk as far as code goes, but the theory should be applicable to other technologies as well.

Who: David Engel is a PHP and .NET developer with a Computer Engineering Degree from the University of Manitoba. David currently is the Applications Developer for Maxim Truck & Trailer where he works with open source and Microsoft technologies to develop both internal and external applications.

How: We’ll start the meet-up with pizza and networking at around 5:30. David will present at 6:00 and will try to wrap up by around 7:00 to get you home at a decent hour. Feel free to stick around after the presentation, however, as some of us like to carry our discussions over to King Street for refreshments.
