I’m pleased to announce this month’s meeting topic is High availability with memcache. Memcache is a high-performance, distributed memory object caching system, generic in nature, but intended for use in speeding up dynamic web applications by alleviating database load. The talk will include live demonstrations of memcache.
Presenting will be Jeff Sherlock who is primarily a LAMP developer with a focus on creating scalable solutions. He’s been working with PHP for over 4 years with most of that geared towards backend work. He loves designing database schemas, optimizing existing processes, and generally making slow things run fast. He currently work as a PHP Developer for a financial services company in Salt Lake City. He is also a part-time student in the U of U Computer Science program.
You can catch Jeff at his blog at www.hoodlu.ms.
