I once hired an amazing flooring contractor after told me he was allergic to bullsh!t.

He did a great job.

Ive spent my career building technology solutions, which often are driven by the Marketing department. Ive watched huge piles of money be spent on nothing but names and slogans, while tech has to scrounge to build any product at all, so my natural tendency is to be pretty wary of tag-lines and vision statement meetings.

So with my anti-spin street cred on the table, let me now tell you - Ive got a problem and I see the light.

In today's world we demand things to happen fast. We expect short waits in line, fast food, tv shows instantly. Basically, its when you want it; and you want it now.

People like fast websites that load and deliver content quickly.

But, if not optimized properly, they can also come with significant overhead that can slow down page loading, responsiveness, and more.

In this webinar you will learn how to optimize your server for concrete5.

There's a lot to worry about when maintaining an open source php package, things like unit testing, version control, dependency management, code style, and licensing can be difficult to get straight and keep up to date. Luckily we have tools like composer, git, github, CI and groups like the PHP-FIG that make managing all of these things is a much simpler task than it has ever been.
