HipHop for PHP - an introduction

HipHop for PHP transforms PHP source code into highly optimized C++. It was developed by Facebook and was released as open source in early 2010.

HipHop transforms your PHP source code into highly optimized C++ and then compiles it with g++ to build binary files. You keep coding in simpler PHP, then HipHop executes your source code in a semantically equivalent manner and sacrifices some rarely used features – such as eval() – in exchange for improved performance.

Drupal and the Real-time web

Damien Tournoud — Sun, 04 Jul 2010 21:59:59 +0000

Type: Not planned session

Leveraging NodeJS and Faye to build a scalable, fast-paced real-time web.

45 minutes (+15 minutes Q&A)

Innovate today. Build tomorrow.

"The Real-Time Web is a paradigm based on pushing information to users as soon as it's available - instead of requiring that they or their software check a source periodically for updates." [source].

The importance of accessibility & Drupal's future

veeliam — Sun, 04 Jul 2010 21:52:24 +0000

Type: Not planned session

There's been a tremendous effort in making Drupal accessible. Now what?

45 minutes (+15 minutes Q&A)

Accessibility in Drupal

There's been a tremendous effort in making Drupal accessible. The primary question is, now that we've made it this far, how well does Drupal support the authoring of accessible Web content to everyone? The quality of Drupal in supporting accessible content creation is critical. It's more than marking off a checklist. It's about making that accessibility sustainable through the life cycle of that product.

MongoDB - Humongous Drupal

MongoDB is a database made for websites. Drupal is the best tool to make websites. No wonder the two matches so well.

45 minutes (+15 minutes Q&A)

The session will talk about the deficiencies of the SQL databases we use and how MongoDB goes around some of them and how Drupal makes good use of them. While you might have heard some of this at a previous DrupalCon, there will be new stuff enough to make this one unique and interesting. MongoDB 1.6 will be out by the conference so you will hear about the latest and greatest. At DCSF I only gave a glimpse at how Drupal can now fully run without SQL, there will be a lot more done by DC CPH too.

Lesser-known Drupal 7

Day: Thursday, 26. august 2010

Time: 10:00-10:50

18 VPS.NET

Off the postcard track, discover the less-known neighborhoods of Drupal 7: Queues and Jobs, Pluggeable caches, Extensible database drivers, Stream wrappers, Intelligent session handler, etc.

45 minutes (+15 minutes Q&A)

Explore, Learn and Discover.

Have you already studied to your heart's content the touristy attractions of Drupal 7 (Entity API, Fields, AJAX framework, etc.)? Looking to see something unexpected in Drupal 7? You're in luck.

Visit with me the semi-secret neighborhoods of Drupal 7, only known by some natives.

Queues and Jobs: execute long-running jobs easily and reliably
Pluggeable caches: do you love Cache Router, but hope it was properly maintained?
Extensible database drivers: ever wanted to be able to alter the behavior of the database engine, to optimize your cluster?

The Open, Social Web in Real-time

walkah — Sun, 04 Jul 2010 21:02:23 +0000

Type: Not planned session

The social web continues to grow, and sites like Twitter and Facebook have (at times) shown the power of bringing the the conversation real-time. But we can do better! These networks should be open and federated!

45 minutes (+15 minutes Q&A)

In this session, we'll look at why depending on Twitter and Facebook (or similar) has serious drawbacks; the network should be open and federated! We'll look at OStatus (http://ostatus.org/), the completely open protocol that we've been working to develop and promote at StatusNet (http://status.net/) for real-time, federated public messaging and we'll see why it's interesting (and important) for Drupal.

This session is for open protocol geeks, freedom fighters and anyone who is just trying figure out what it all means.

PubSubHubbub (short PuSH) is a publish/subscribe protocol for RSS and Atom feeds. Instead of polling a news feed periodically for new items, PuSH issues notifications when new items are published: Instant delivery in place of "are we there yet?" aggregation.

45 minutes (+15 minutes Q&A)

PuSH has gained considerable traction since its inception in 2009. Today, Wordpress, Feedburner, LiveJournal, MySpace, Tumblr and more publish PuSH feeds.

This session will explain:
