How we, at Zumba, created ours using Sketch and a UX Power Tools boilerplate. It also includes tips and an overview of popular Sketch plugins.

Learn how to effectively use events in applications to reduce code complexity of cross-cutting concerns, how various frameworks implement events and make them available to the developer, and the benefits and drawbacks of utilizing aspect oriented development with real world examples. We will also look at many popular frameworks (Symfony2, CakePHP, Zend, etc) to see how their event architecture is implemented at a bird’s-eye view and how developers can take advantage, including a demo using Symfony2’s dispatcher to illustrate the benefits of event driven design.

It will cover auto scalling by time range or server load, and how the load is distributed between the servers. This talk will show how to deploy a CakePHP application with AWS OpsWorks.

Combining these tools with a solid Require.js implementation can elevate the often haphazard front-end development experience to the same level of excellence. This talk will give a very brief overview of Require.js and it's benefits. It will outline a typical Require.js "Hello World" implementation. This will be followed by a more robust implementation for projects that are backed by CakePHP and have thousands of lines of javascript. The talk will end with notes on configuring the Require.js optimizer to combine and minify the source for deployment.
