PHP: Architecture, Scalability, and Security

Rasmus Lerdorf (Yahoo! Inc.)
8:30am - 12:00pm Tuesday, 07/22/2008
PHP, Tutorial
 Location: Portland 256

Get the architecture right and modern web apps are easy to write. The Web lends itself well to a modular distributed architecture allowing you to split even large complex applications into a series of smaller manageable applications. These smaller distributed applications then give you scalability for free, and for the most part also make it easier to secure them.

This tutorial aims to show web developers at all levels how to build a modern web application with PHP. Architecturally we will explore:

  • A simple MVC approach that maximizes performance.
  • Profiling and optimization using Valgrind and XDebug.
  • Client-side integration using various YUI components and JSON.
  • An overview of the thorn in the side of all web apps today: Cross-Site Scripting and Cross-Site Request Forgery attacks.
