====== PHP without PHP ======
===== Terry Chang =====
  
  * Funky Caching
     * redirect 404 on the first call to a 404page generator

  * Code Complete (book steve mcconnell)
     * unit testing/
     * waterfall process, slow
     * not suitable to modern software dev
  * mythical man month (book)
     * painting a fence, add people to do it faster
     * if meeting a deadline add more devs, WRONG in Softwaredev
     * add devs to a project slows down the progress
 
  * correct paradigm for software dev is engineering not architecture
 
  * engineer and architect

  * 1st example building
     * falling water (frank loyd wright)
     * organic architecture
  * why php? (what has this to do with php?)
     * funky caching pattern is used all the time
     * why php uses this more often?
     * nothing beats a static file server
     * = harmony with environment
     * apache web server: error document
   
  * architecture of php
     * 3 principles of php
        * php is very "cheap"
           * quote from philip greenspun
        * php is scalable
           * quote from harry fuecks
        * php is pragmatic
           * quote from rasmus lerdorf
        * php is not about purity, its like a wet cat: its mean

  * 2nd example
     * bellefield tower (level the church, keep the tower)
     * design hubris?
     * dont worry about the surrounding environment
     * frameworks (by definition)
        * are build to solve problems

     * Work WITH the existing Environment, not against
        * tagged - php4 / zend accelerator -> needs time to migrate to new ideas/technic
  
  * 3rd example
     * golden gate bridge
        * know one recongnizes the gate brigde, golden gate is to iconic
     * same problem, different pattern
        * color is orange like rusted environment, fits well
        * it is part of the whole (this is a reference to the [[http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frank_Lloyd_Wright|Frank Lloyd Wright]] Example with the Falling Waters House i think)


  * design pattern - the timeless way of building (christopher alexander)
     * each pattern describes a problem occuring over and over again, you can use the solution over and over again without doing it the same way
 
  * funky caching again
     * javascript / css compiling and caching
        * pre compile/minimize and cache them 
     * tagged - using pictures from production server for staging server via errordocument funky caching

  * beyond funky caching
     * deliver pages faster makes user more active

  *look around for inspiration for doing good software architecture
