data processing unconference phpnw11

electron delivery vehicals  2500 data points  per vechical,   real time data collection when they are on

US dept. gave 32 million dollar to collect the data to learn about energy use

uses  stormMQ  as queuing system.

realtime use batter use  charge, location

rapid large batch very quickly

DBA  human working on mysql,  each truck has own data base  and cluster of dbs in cloud

call data to UI  10 20 seconds a page,  used caching to improve

If too much data coming in, or has not change they will not insert to save.  But then has to write code to fill the gaps with values

good talk

REST talk PHPNW11

October 8th, 2011

History of REST

Constraints are a good thing

REST is an architecture  not a plugin

goals

1.  scale

2. general UI

3. Independent component

4.

Constraints

Client save server

Stateless (never store anything server side)

Caching

Layersystem  (allow to put in intermediaries eg. load balancing, caching  is to help scale.)

Code on demand  ()

Uniform interface (4 guiding principals  a, uri, )

URL to access e.g media type get back url to get one pint on api to the next)

http   browser identifies what comes back.  could be html2 to 5

Versioning:  web does not matter on the web  but make sure the links are still valid.

Heather Dale Garden Design – Aberdeenshire

May 5th, 2011

I helped co-create a new website, Heather Dale Garden Design, hdgardendesign.co.uk last month.  As the name suggests it is a garden design website where Heather provides examples of her work.  The current two projects profiled are the revamp of a Granite Town House and a more extensive overhaul of a End Terrace Garden including a new green house.  Heather documents more of her garden activities via her Facebook Page.  Looks like it is vegetable sowing season at the moment.  Feedback on the site is welcomed and you can do that via the contact page.
