Workshop prerequisites
In order to actively participate in hands-on workshops, you need to bring your own laptop with a processor capable of hardware virtualization and at least 4 GB of RAM (8 GB is highly recommended). Regular hard disk will do, but having an SSD is an advantage. As for software requirements, you need to have the latest version of VirtualBox 5.x installed.
Please note that if your laptop is not capable of hardware virtualization and doesn’t meet the requirements, you will only be able to listen to the workshops, but you will not be able to participate hands-on in the workshops and get the maximum value out of it.
If you will still be having problems with your setup, our Help Desk crew will be there on August 29, 18:00-19:30 to sort out any last minute issues.

Hands-on: HTTP caching with Varnish (Basic)by David Buchmann (Liip AG) & Hrvoje Knežević (Netgen) For some scenarios, Varnish is the silver bullet to fix performance issues and go from a slow to a lightning fast site. However, more often than not, you will need to put some effort into your application to get good results. Ideally, you design your application to play well with caching from the outset. If you don't know what you are doing, Varnish can also be the bullet to shoot yourself in the foot. In this workshop, you will learn how to use HTTP headers to control caching and how to configure Varnish itself. Running your own Vagrant Box with Varnish and PHP, you get to try out the effects of the caching headers and Varnish configuration directives. You will discuss things that go well with Varnish and situations to avoid. After mastering the basics, you will look at advanced concepts like edge side includes (ESI). |
