On the Ibuildings techPortal today there's a new tutorial from Rupert Jones showing you how to get the best performance from Magento with a set of technologies tailored for just that.

Till Klampaeckel has shown off one of the "best kept secrets" about the APC caching tool that not many people seem to use - getting a key's expiration time that can be useful to tell other applications how long the data will be good for.

The slides for my talk on "APC & Memcache the High Performance Duo" are now available here: Barcelona_APC_MEM2010.pdf.

Thanks to all the attendees for listening and asking questions, hopefully there are a few converts to APC/Memcached resulting from this talk .

My slides from the APC & Memcache the High Performance Duo talk at Dutch PHP Conference are now up and can be downloaded from here.

Thanks everyone for listening.

Ben Ramsey (@ramsey) is giving a talk over memcache and APC.

APC magazine: "When Dell announced a buyout of systems management appliance company KACE last week, there was one big question customers wanted to ask -- did that mean support for Macs and Linux was about to get dumped from its products?"

On the ServerGrove blog there's a recent post about the speed boost that you can get using APC caching (with an example of a symfony application's perfomance).

APC mag: "A special edition of the Inspiron Mini 10v run Intel's Linux-based Moblin OS goes on sale for US$299, but also offers the netbook image as a free download."

APC mag: "Shuttle today has announced another alternative to mainstream computers with a new all-in-one sporting factory installed Linux."
