This course will follow the Programmer's Track, focusing on developers with programming experience in other languages, but no experience with using PHP for web development. Full details are at http://nyphp.org/twoday .

A convincing desktop/web-application hybrid can be built using XUL, JavaScript, PHP and MySQL by letting each component in this platform do what it does best. XUL has a rich set of user interface widgets (editable combox boxes, tabs, and so on) not found in HTML; thus XUL activated with JavaScript enables easy data entry and modification. PHP is great at getting data from external resources (local MySQL database, remote web service gateways), processing it, and sending it back to the browser. MySQL is great at storing, sorting and searching through data. Jay will show how one can building a useful and usable rich web application by focusing on and combining each component's strength. But sometimes, even using each component's strength results in a solution that is not as fast as desired. If the application is retrieving over 500 records at once, the main bottleneck is often the underlying transport protocol. XML-RPC can facilitate communication between Mozilla and the AMP backend, but also also proves to be resource intesive to parse on the client-side. This is due to the verbose structure of its underlying XML format. In order to speed up the retrieval of large chunks of data, the JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) format can be used instead. With the help of source code examples and a real world application, Jay will explain how to best use each part of the Mozilla + AMP platform, and how to alternate between the XML-RPC and JSON data transports in order to create a responsive, rich and useful web application. Thanks to Dan Krook and Platinum sponsor IBM for providing a great presentation space with seating for plenty.

Although hosted at New York PHP, this list is not specific to using MySQL with PHP. Whether you develop with C, Java, .NET, Perl, Python, or any other language, the MySQL list supports you. Non-development discussion, such as DBA and management topics, are also welcomed here. No matter the topic, if it's relevant to MySQL in some way, this list supports you.
