# Intl PHP Conference Slides


By Ben Ramsey

Published on June 4, 2007


I've been neglecting for far too long to post these slides, and I've been reminded several times by conference attendees that I need to post them. Thank you for the reminders, and I apologize that it has taken me this long to post these. Links to the slides are below...

I once again found myself in Germany---Ludwigsburg, specifically---for the [International PHP Conference, Spring Edition](http://web.archive.org/web/20070521205145/http://phpconference.com/konferenzen/ipc07/index_eng.php). This location was much better than the hotel/conference location in Frankfurt because it was right in the town of Ludwigsburg. This made it easy to walk around, sight-see, and find things to do outside of the conference.

This time around, I gave two talks: Designing RESTful Web Applications and Give Your Site A Boost With memcached. Overall, I was very proud of these talks, especially the one on REST. The REST talk has been growing and changing over the last few times I've given it, and, now, I think it's maturing into an excellent discussion of REST theory coupled with practical tips on designing a RESTful application. Perhaps I'll spend some more time talking about REST on this blog in the coming weeks and months.

For now, enjoy the slides:
