object persistence

The rapid descent of the weather towards winter is getting people to stay in and code and long may it continue given the quality of this week's releases: OmniAuth 1.0, MagLev 1.0, and Ruby 1.9.3, for starters!

On the Zend Developer Zone there's a new post sharing the latest episode of their ZendCon 2010 sessions series - a talk from Stefan Priebsch about object persistence in PHP.

MagLev is a new(ish) Ruby implementation built by Gemstone Systems that focuses on providing an integrated object persistence layer and a distributed shared cache - a truly scalable Ruby implementation.
