Mastering The Faster Web with PHP, MySQL, and JavaScript

By: Andrew Caya

Overview of this book

This book will get you started with the latest benchmarking, profiling and monitoring tools for PHP, MySQL and JavaScript using Docker-based technologies. From optimizing PHP 7 code to learning asynchronous programming, from implementing Modern SQL solutions to discovering Functional JavaScript techniques, this book covers all the latest developments in Faster Web technologies. You will not only learn to determine the best optimization strategies, but also how to implement them. Along the way, you will learn how to profile your PHP scripts with Blackfire.io, monitor your Web applications, measure database performance, optimize SQL queries, explore Functional JavaScript, boost Web server performance in general and optimize applications when there is nothing left to optimize by going beyond performance. After reading this book, you will know how to boost the performance of any Web application and make it part of what has come to be known as the Faster Web.

Dedication

I dedicate this book to the One who has made everything new by His sacrifice and has given me everything that I have in my life.

To my wife, Mylène, and my son, Jean-Thomas, whom I love very much, for their relentless support and understanding.

To my extended family, Andrée-Anne, Geneviève, Marie-Rose and Augustin, for their trust and confidence in me.

To my mother, Lise, and my father, Carroll, may he rest in peace, for everything that they have taught and given me over the years.

To all my friends, particularly Martin, Élise, Rose-Anne, and Martin, for their patience and collaboration.

To my computer science instructors, Richard Truchon, Jean-Marie Veilleux, Daryl Wood, and Jakub Zalas, who have made me the computer programmer that I am today, with a very special mention to Doug Bierer, whose good mentoring and true friendship changed my professional life forever.
