OSCON Highlight: Rasmus' "How to Make Money with PHP" session

Rasmus is presenting his "How to Make Money with PHP" session for the Portland PHP User group, OSCON attendees and OSCAMP attendees. This session is one of my favorite Rasmus talks - the concepts that he teaches are key to helping PHP developers move from being frustrated novices to being happy and productive PHP hackers.

Some of the key things that the session covers are how to find bottlenecks in your PHP application, how to plan for capacity and (of course) how to make huge amounts of money with PHP.

    It seems that you have a great and interesting time there, Zak. We would love to have Rasmus on ROSI conference in Romania too, especially with this talk.

    http://talks.php.net/show/oscon06 does not support ie?
    Why so, doesnt the vission of future web development lives within all web browsers?

    Hi Lauras,

    I bet that this is just because no one has made the system work with Internet Explorer. I believe that anyone who wants to spend the time is welcome to fix this is welcome to.

    Cheers!

    Also the future of web development is in having browsers that conform to open standards so that web developers aren't continuously having to work around incompatibilities.

    Perhaps readers know weird CSS hacks like the following:

    /* Hide from IE-Mac */
    #something {…}

    /* End hide */

    or this one:

    div.content {
    width:400px;
    voice-family: "\"}\"";
    voice-family:inherit;
    width:300px;
    }

    Web devs shouldn't have to do crazy stuff like this…
