Speaking at php[tek] 2015 (May 18th-22nd)

I will be speaking at php[tek] again this year, php[tek] is a cornerstone of the PHP community calendar, and I cannot wait to be back in Chicago¹ again.

I will be presenting another new talk:

Extending MySQL with PHP’s MySQL Native Driver**

PHP’s MySQL Native Driver (mysqlnd) has been providing great performance benefits since PHP 5.3, but there is more to it than just replacing libmysqlclient.

MySQL Native Drivers plugin architecture provides the ability to do read/write splitting, caching, load balancing, and more. Learn how to do all of these things simply and transparently, as well as how to write your own plugins using PHP.

Hopefully I’ll see you there!
