colocated at C7 Data Centers
administered by Anavi Design
For our July meeting, Justin Carmony will be teaching us some of his tips, tricks, and techniques for doing performance profiling and optimization in PHP applications. Our meeting is at 7pm on Thursday, July 21, at Center7 Networks’ Bluffdale data center, and after the meeting everyone is welcome to join us at the Draper Applebees.
If you have something you’d be willing to present at a future meeting, please let me know and we’ll get you on the schedule.
Any word on a July meeting?
We are looking at starting a Salt Lake Javascript Users group and thought the PHP community might be interested. We are thinking about meeting in the downtown area on the first Thursday of every month. Come let us know if you would be interested in joining us. https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/ujsug
Is this different than the http://utahjs.com/ group then?
It will be a different chapter, but we will all be in the same group (if that makes sense). We will be on the same website. There seemed to be enough interest in having a meeting in salt lake. It looks like we will be moving to the second or 4th Thursday so as not to conflict with the Utah County meeting.
Keep me in the loop, I may be able to make it up that way.
I’d be interested
I’d be quite interested in attending a Salt Lake based group. As long at it’s Thursday after about 06:30 or so, the time sounds good as well.
Last October I had an opportunity to take my consulting company from just a small part time gig to a full time company. The downside is in doing this it moved me to North Carolina. So the reason for this post and how it pertains. I really enjoy being part of this group for the many years that I have been. However I am now attempting to locate groups like this in North Carolina. Anyone have any ideas of good places to look for groups like this in a new area, or even have suggestions on how I could start a similar group to this here in North Carolina?
Where in NC are you? Here’s a site I found googling: http://php.meetup.com/cities/us/nc/durham/ . You can change the city to where you are. It may not show all of them, but it would be a start.
I’ve got to admit, i didn’t even know there were forks to mysql, but in discussing the matter with Steve Meyers, I can understand better what he means when he says : if you’re not using a mysql fork, you have no idea what you’re missing out on.
For our June meeting, Steve will be discussing the benefits of Oracle MySQL, Drizzle, Percona Server, and MariaDB. Don’t forget that we’re at out new location: Center 7 in Bluffdale.
A little about Steven:
I started out as a developer at Omniture (known as MyComputer.com back then, among other names) from 1998 to 2001. I was the Chief Architect, involved in all new code and database design. I then worked for MingleMatch (bought by Spark Networks in 2005) from 2001 to 2009. For a while, I was the entire Development and IT department. As we hired more employees, I transitioned into a full-time IT management role, while still maintaining a close relationship with the Development group. I left there in 2009, and began working for CrimeReports.com in a similar role. I left in January 2011 to pursue my own businesses. Since 2001, I have been running CougarBoard.com, a community of BYU sports fans. I wrote the site from scratch, although it uses a few external libraries.
Over the years, I have become fairly proficient with PHP and MySQL. My understanding of the system as well as programming side of things has helped me to optimize SQL, PHP, and general web serving.
What time are the meetings every 3rd thursday?
7:00 PM
Glad to see a group here in Utah that supports php. I’ll mark my calendar, looking forward to see what it’s all about.
For our May meeting, Wade Shearer will present on frameworks and content management. He will be giving a presentation on a custom system that he developed.
Note that we will be meeting at our new (old) location, Center 7‘s new data center in Bluffdale (the old LinuxNetworx building). ID will be required for admittance.

I’m impressed! This looks awesome.
Thanks Bryan!
Very cool! I’d like to test a Megento install on there and see how it performs.
If only I could spell Magento
Our April meeting with be an open-ended discussion. We’ll talk about running your php application on things like Amazon’s and Rackspace’s cloud, as well as other things to keep in mind about your production environment. Should be a good discussion.

I’d be happy to present on MongoDB or Magento Development. If either of those sounds interesting let me know.

Since this is in a company’s data center is it okay to bring a laptop or will I have to go old school with pen and paper?

Thanks for a fantastic presentation. I learned a lot. I plan to start using some of the tools you presented on an upcoming project that needs to be enterprise ready.
