Speaking at PHPBenelux 2014

Three years ago I heard about this awesome conference in Belgium, PHPBenelux, and for the last two years I’ve been kicking myself for missing the CFP.

Well, this year, I didn’t miss it, and I got accepted!

I will be giving my new talk, “PHP Performance: Under The Hood”:

We’ve all experienced performance issues and we would typically turn to a profiler. Whether that’s something in userland, or a tool like xdebug or xhprof, the reason is the same: to figure out why our code is slow.

This talk will take that inspection a step further and look under the hood of PHP, at the C internals, for common performance problems.

If you’ve ever wanted to know exactly what your code is doing, and why ++$i is faster than $i++, this talk is for you.

I hope to see you there!
