* HipHop for PHP
HipHop transforms PHP source code into highly optimised C++ and then compiles it using g++. It allows developers to continue writing complex logical directly with PHP but leverages the speed benefits of using C++. Currently, HipHop powers the majority of Facebook servers, making this more than just a theoretical exercise.
This session will cover how HipHop works, how to setup HipHop and the small changes that may be required to applications to allow it to work with both PHP and HipHop.

* Software is Culture
Software development requires not only technology, but also an understanding of engineering economics and human interactions. Engineering economics is the obtaining, allocating and deploying of resources, including individuals with specific skills and temperament, to efficiently develop software that meets the needs and expectations of its users. Programming is considered a technical activity but it is first and foremost a human activity whose success is determined by emotional intelligence, innate talents, personality and communications.
