So, how well are your PHP applications performing?
On this blog, we have written about how the IBM i provides an ideal platform for running modern PHP applications (particularly open source applications). However, despite the power of the IBM i, your application could be experiencing speed issues that can impact performance.
BCD Software, now Fresche Solutions, who recently announced a partnership with Zend that establishes them as the primary resource for PHP-on-IBM i development, will be hosting an educational webinar with PHP expert Alan Seiden on Thursday 11 June 2015 at 6pm (BST) showing you how you can fine-tune your PHP applications for top performance.
How to ensure speedy PHP applications on IBM i
Seiden speaks at a number of IBM i and PHP user group meetings and conferences including the Northeast System i User Groups, NewYork PHP, Chicago OMNI, and ZendCon. His company, Alan Seiden Consulting LLC helps companies implement solutions with PHP, Zend Framework and IBM i, with special attention on optimising application performance.
He was a charter member of IBM / COMMON’s PHP Advisory Board and served as a consultant for the IBM manual “PHP: Zend Core for i5/OS”.
You can find out more about Alan’s thoughts on PHP, Zend and Ruby on Rails on his blog, SeidenGroup.com.
During the webinar, you’ll learn how to:
- Optimise DB2 and the IBM i toolkit
- Leverage unique IBM i performance tools
- Diagnose bottlenecks and errors with Z-Ray
- Configure Zend Server for performance
If you are wondering if the webinar will be useful to your everyday work, Mike Meszaros, a Software Developer at Specialty Pipe and Tube said this after a previous Seiden webinar:
“Our process now runs 30-50% faster, thanks to one tip from Alan’s presentation”.
During the final part of the webinar, you’ll also learn why WebSmart PHP with Zend Server is the fastest way to develop PHP applications on IBM i.
