Scaling Facebook with OpenSource tools(Tracked)
This talk will give you a better idea of what it takes to scale Facebook.From the day that Mark Zuckerberg started building Facebook in his Harvard dorm room in 2004 to today, the site has been built on common open source software such as Linux, Apache, MySQL, and PHP. Today Facebook reaches over 350 million people per month, is the largest PHP site in the World, and has released major pieces of our infrastructure as open source.It's not possible to scale a site like Facebook simply by sharding your databases, rather we've developed and contributed to a series of open source infrastructure technologies. Some of these projects include Cassandra, Hive, Haystack, memcached, and Scribe, where each focuses on solving a specific problem with Thrift allowing them to communicate across languages. This talk will give you a better idea of what it takes to scale Facebook, a look into the infrastructure we use to do so, and dive into performance work we're focused on in order to scale PHP to over 350 billion page views per month.FOSDEM (Free and Open Source Development European Meeting) is a European event centered around Free and Open Source software development. It is aimed at developers and all interested in the Free and Open Source news in the world. Its goals are to enable developers to meet and to promote the awareness and use of free and open source software. More info at http://fosdem.org By David Recordon

CSS-Tricks #50: Building a Customized and Dynamic Ordering Form(Tracked)
Real-life clients have real-life needs for their websites. They don’t care about your fancy RSS feeds and AJAX, they just want their website to do what they tell you they want it to do. In this screencast I walk through an example feature I am building for a real-life client who needed some very specific functionality built into a page. It is an ordering process that needs to check for a valid zip code, and then do a bunch of custom calculations based on quantities, shipping costs, etc. Both jQuery and PHP are used to do the heavy lifting.

ThemeForest: jQuery for Absolute Beginners: Day 15 - Part 2(Tracked)
In Part 1 of day fifteen, we worked on setting up the PHP side of a CSS style-switcher. Today, we’re going to take things one step further and implement some AJAX functionality. Coming in at just under thirty minutes, this final video in the series is the most in depth. As an unintended “bonus”, I had to take a couple of minutes to fix some mistakes that I made. I could just as easily have edited this section out; however, I think it’s important to watch how other developers debug their application. Considering that, I kept it in. Created by Jeffrey.
