This Aint News

So, at some point in the future I’m gonna write about TAN here, mostly about things I figure out whilst developing it.

Some future posts will be about phps really crap implimentation of fastcgi/mod_php, and how this is changing.

They’ll also be something about compiling pure php  templates to reduce page generation time. For example, a page on TAN includes 120 templates overall, this alone takes 0.4 seconds, which is about half of the total page load time!!!

The above blog will also lead onto xdebug, and why its *really* important that you don’t try to tune your app unless you *know exactly* why its going slow.

Then I’ll probably write some rubbish about php being better suited to simple web development, but lacking some crucial benefits of perl, and why this situation is changing.

That being said, I’m now going to slope away and probably never write anything else :p

  1. hmmmm…. php… the clues in the domain name ;-)

  2. ^ because, the things im “blogging” about are generic things, although my experience of them is from php, so its a php blog, and if you don’t like it, you can giiiit out

  3. I’ll svvvvn out if you don’t mind… I rock.
