It's August, it's the Fringe, and according to tickets.edfringe.com, there are 387 events you could go and see between 7pm and 9pm on Tuesday the 19th.
But guess what? None of them are offering you:
1) A very informative talk on Content Delivery Networks by the Technical Director of Blonde
2) A chance to win a Free Personal License of PhpStorm, courtesy of JetBrains
3) An opportunity to share your PHP ups and downs with fellow edPUGGERS
Not only that, we have a novel way of choosing the winner. We will have licences for the next 6 months, and speakers get one extra entry, so please get in touch if you want to do a talk.
To be in with a chance of winning, you must be on Twitter, and follow @edpug. Follow us now!
The talk, by Manos of Blonde, will cover Content Delivery Networks and their use in improving performance, scalability, and availability of websites. It will cover the concepts behind Content Delivery Networks including origin offload, acceleration, content caching and invalidation, SSL termination and failover with lessons learned from production deployments of Amazon Cloudfront and Akamai.
As usual, drinks and food available on the night.
Hope to see you there!
