Today's high-traffic websites must implement performance-boosting measures that reduce data processing and reduce load on the database, while increasing
the speed of content delivery. One such method is the use of a cache to temporarily store whole pages, database recordsets, large objects, and sessions.
While many caching mechanisms exist, memcached provides one of the fastest and easiest-to-use caching servers. This talk will cover memcached and the
memcache extension for PHP from setting up a memcached server to using it to provide a variety of caching solutions, including the use of memcached as a
session data store.
