This event is over, but your chance to learn isn’t. Videos are available for the whole event or for individual talks.
PHP 7.0 was a leap forward in performance; 7.1 was another step forward, as was 7.2 and 7.3. With nothing more than keeping PHP up-to-date, applications get faster, servers work less and handle more. So why worry about performance if PHP is going to do it for us?
Applications grow increasingly more complex every day. The amount of code and markup that has to be served to the frontend is growing almost exponentially. Yes, the backend is getting faster but the needs of the application are growing at the same pace, if not faster. Upgrading PHP these days is just treading water.
Developers, teams, and companies have to be on the lookout for ways to make their applications perform faster; they have to look “Beyond Performance”.
That is the theme of this next Day Camp 4 Developers and that is what our speakers will help you do, look beyond performance. We are countering everything from what makes PHP tick, to multi-threaded, non-blocking programming in PHP.
Join us, bring your team, spend a day leaning how you can look “Beyond Performance”. Learn how to take your application to the next level before your competition does.

HIGH PERFORMANCE WEB SERVICES WITH PHP
Over the years, software teams have questioned if PHP is a good choice for building web services. In this talk, I will show how we use PHP on the backend for Glu Mobile’s flagship mobile game Design Home, enabling it to regularly rank amongst the top free mobile games – both in downloads and grossing. We will deep dive into the thought processes, development, and integration strategy, and study a few real-life cases to show how to use PHP in the right way to build and maintain reliable, high-performance backends.

HOW PHP TICKS
Take a peek into the inner workings of PHP from how it walks through your script code, to the nature of variables themselves. This session will focus on some of the subtle but significant changes between PHP 5 and PHP 7 as well as look forward to the future of PHP 8.

ASYNCHRONOUS EXPRESSIVE
The rise of Node.js has many developers interested in asynchronous web application development, as it allows offloading heavy processes in order to provide snappy responses to clients. How can you achieve this in PHP, particularly with Expressive? The Swoole extension to PHP gives us an async foundation; in this session, you’ll also learn how to code your middleware, handlers, and their dependencies so that they play well in an async environment, allowing you to leverage its scaling and performance benefits.

EVENTED ARCHITECTURES
PHP has graduated into being an all-around decent general-purpose programming language. But we still use the same old architectural patterns when we write applications. In “Event Architectures”, I walk through why relying on blocking contexts is less efficient and provide examples of how to re-think program flow to achieve far higher throughput and CPU-consumption density than ever before.

PHP + REDIS + NGINX = LUDICROUS SPEED
So you built a successful app. The next step is “scale”. But what you really mean is speed – Ludicrous Speed. Let’s explore a making super fast app build in native PHP (no frameworks) running atop nginx, and using Redis as our runtime database. We’ll take a peak at how on the surface this may be a PHP app. Yet, underneath it’s a high-performance, horizontally scalable app.
What People Are Saying about DC4D
I always make sure my team has access to the best information sources in order to help them to continue to learn how to make my company successful. This is why DC4D is a must for my employees!
– Andrew Caya: Attendee
What I love most about DC4D is that I get conference-level talks from the comfort of my desk — talks that I can revisit for further exploration — and all for a very affordable price that makes it a no-brainer for management.
