During the past month I've been contemplating about what to do next and realized that I do not want to take on a new full-time position right away. Instead I will be available to work on (custom) PHP extensions and internals related issues. Extensions are a great way around PHP's limitations and performance issues.</p> <p>As first project I am working on a "<a href="https://github.com/derickr/quickhash">QuickHash</a>" extension for <a href="http://www.stumbleupon.com/">StumbleUpon</a>. This extension circumvents PHP's hefty memory (and performance) overhead by providing more specific data structures. The extension currently implements integer sets and integer to integer hashes. I am now adding integer to string hashes and string to integer hashes. The QuickHash extension will be released under the PHP Licence and I will dedicate another post to it later.</p> <p>If, like <a href="http://www.stumbleupon.com/">StumbleUpon</a>, you are also interested in having work done on PHP or a specific extensions feel free to <a href="http://derickrethans.nl/who.html">contact</a> me. I'd be happy to discuss things with you.</p> <div class="flattr"> <a class="FlattrButton" rev="flattr;button:compact;" style="display: none" href="http://derickrethans.nl"/> <noscript> <a href="http://flattr.com/thing/429095/Derick-Rethans-website"> <img src="http://api.flattr.com/button/flattr-badge-large.png" alt="Flattr this" title="Flattr this"/> </a> </noscript> </div> </div> </div> </div> 201003151228 Mon, 15 Mar 2010 12:28:00 +0000
