SUMMARY:Scaling Your Web MySQL Application (mostly PHP/MySQL)
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Duleepa Wijayawardhana (MySQL). Scaling is a pe

 RAM. Scaling is a subtle art of discovering pain points in the applicati
 on and using various Open Source software and technologies to get you to
  where you want.

DESCRIPTION:PHP, in spite of most popular web scripting language, doesn'
