ilia@ilia.ws (Ilia Alshanetsky) — Fri, 02 Mar 2012 04:59:18 -0500

My slides from the Confoo presentation on PHP 5.4 are up and can be viewed/downloaded from here:
http://ilia.ws/files/confoo_php54.pdf

I look forward to everyone's feedback either on this blog or via Joind.in.

And in case you didn't know, PHP 5.4 was released yesterday!

[Update March 3, 2012]

Based on great suggestion from Rasmus, I've updated the charset slide to clarify that the change introduced in 5.4 relates to the default charset used by internal entities functions (htmlspecialchars, htmlentities, etc...) and updating the default_charset INI is one of the changes you may need to do to account for this change.

Introduction to PostgreSQL

ilia@ilia.ws (Ilia Alshanetsky) — Wed, 29 Feb 2012 14:44:37 -0500

The slides from my "Introduction to PostgreSQL" talk at Confooare now available for view/download
and can found here: http://ilia.ws/files/confoo_pgsql.pdf. Hopefully it will make people more interested in PostgreSQL, which is a great database system and take it into consideration when making their database platform decisions.

For me personally, it was quite interesting, as it is one of the rare chances I get to speak about something that is not directly related to PHP, although I did sneak-in a few PHP specific slides

I would very much appreciate feedback from all who had attended the talk and any suggestions on how to make it better are always welcome. Please send me your comments via this blog or via Joind.in.

A big thanks for to Bruce Momjian from Enterprise DB who gave me some really good suggestions on improving the slides (already reflected in the PDF) and Christophe Pettus from PostgreSQL Experts, Inc. whose original PostgreSQL Intro talk had inspired mine.
