OSCON - PHP and OFBIZ
July 25, 2007
I went to Rasmus’ PHP talk. Didn’t have too much I wasn’t aware of, but did have a good demonstration of debugging and performance stuff. He demoed kcachegrind, which you have to use now if you use xdebug2. I was using kcachegrind and valgrind to debug PHP 4 years ago, and it was refreshing to see someone else using it too. It sort of excludes Windows people tho (doesn’t it?)
I went to the plaxo presentation on ‘high performance javascript’, but it was too crowded, so I’m hitting the ofbiz presentation. I didn’t know it was now an Apache project - very interesting. I was just told that you can use groovy directly in ofbiz when writing code - again, very interesting.
At lunch I ran in to Kevin from discogs.com, and he’s using SOLR :) And I’ve met Jacob from platial.com - very interesting site/concept. They need to speed up their searching, and SOLR may be what they use as well.

Windows users can use WinCacheGrind:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/wincachegrind/
Not quite as robust, but definitely gets the job done.

The Windows folk can take a look at WinCacheGrind which hasn’t been updated recently but works quite well alongside xdebug2. I do prefer kcachegrind though.

WinCacheGrind can read the output from XDebug in Windows - http://sourceforge.net/projects/wincachegrind/

Hey all - thanks for the heads up on wincachegrind. I’d heard reference to this tool 2 hours later. I’m sure I’ve heard of it awhile ago, but have completely forgotten about it. I’ll definitely be checking this out. Any of you guys here at OSCON and want to get together for a drink, give me a holler at 919-455-8488.
