Thanks to all those who joined us at the March meetup. A massive thanks is also in order for Codeweavers for graciously hosting our event once again. Their continued support is genuinely appreciated!
Greg’s talk illustrated how minor, easy-to-apply optimisations in PHP and JavaScript can provide a noticeable performance boost.
We wrapped up with our open discussion session led by Simon. This session is inspired by the Lean Coffee format, allowing attendees to collaboratively set the agenda. This offers a unique opportunity for all participants to actively contribute and sparks engaging discussion.
Talk
Low Effort PHP and JS Micro-optimisations
Greg Mayes — Lead Engineer, AviationValues
Greg’s talk centred around practical micro-optimisation strategies in PHP and JavaScript, emphasising the concept of the aggregation of marginal gains. By carefully tweaking and fine-tuning code, he demonstrated that developers could achieve minor but cumulative performance enhancements. The micro-optimisations presented were not only simple to implement but also resulted in noticeable speed and efficiency gains. Greg’s expertise provided valuable insights, guiding developers on how to improve their code’s performance in an impactful way without succumbing to the inefficient pursuit of minimal returns.
Thanks, Ian Knight, for photographing the event for us.
