Speaking at PHPNW11 Unconference
This is just a quick note to say I'll be speaking at PHPNW 2011 in their Unconference track, delivering two 15 minute talks:
- PHP and Continuous Data Processing
- PHP and Twilio
PHP and Continuous Data Processing
At Smith Electric Vehicles, the worlds largest manufacturer of commercial electric vehicles, we run the largest telemetry system outside of Formula 1. This telemetry system involves our vehicles transmitting thousands of pieces of information back to us every second. We need to be able to process this information, keep on top of it, generate reports and calculations and display real-time, historical and analytical data through our web interface for customers, engineers and service technicians. This talk discusses some of the challenges we face and some of the solutions we have both in terms of the system itself and also making PHP play nicely with large volumes of continuously processing information.
PHP and Twilio
Twilio is a set of Infrastructure APIs which allow developers to integrate voice and SMS services into their applications. This includes receiving inbound calls, making outbound calls, transferring calls, processing responses and so on. This talk walks quickly through Twilio and shows how to quickly build a telephone interface for customers to manage their accounts on PHP based systems.
