We focus on the intranet, not internet (still) many customers with windows-only philosophy More MS Office integration possibilities on windows Somebody should use windows for testing purposes We have a windows expert in the office Why Windows XP? We just didn‘t setup the server yet… Windows Server 2008 with IIS is planned The intranet application
- 7. Features We call it Management Information System (due to planned features) Capacity planning Finance planning No TYPO3 v5 => no TYPO3 UI Using the MVC-framework of FLOW3

- 10. Problems Before alpha3: Installing PHP 5.3 No editor for PHP 5.3 (namespaces) Lot‘s of documentation, but no tutorial Lots of „big“ changes We saw exception-screen pretty often After alpha3 Is it my fault or a bug? Still missing theoretical background Using DateTime in the model Changing the datastructure Problems and Highlights
- 11. Highlights Persistance just works Templating with Fluid Integrating YAML (Yet another multicolumn layout) Really no SQL needed Extending the model is pretty fast now Just for fun: switching from SQLite to MySQL Problems and Highlights

For simple MVC-projects Object Oriented Programming Namespace-syntax of PHP 5.3 Getting-started tutorial IRC and patience For bigger and complex projects Depends on the goals and features of the project Desing Patterns Domain Driven Design Unit Testing Aspect Oriented Programming etc…. Questions and answers
- 16. What environment do I need? Must have Webserver (Apache) PHP 5.3 (mbstring, pdo_sqlite) Nice to have PHP-Editor supporting namespaces (Eclipse PDT) Docbook-editor (XMLmind) Questions and answers

- 19. What about performance? On windows: still slow, because… Ntfs is pretty bad in handling lots of small files FLOW3-Cache = lots of small files Probably much better with memcache or apc On Mac / Linux: pretty fast Scalability (huge amounts of data, hit rate) No experience yet Questions and answers
- 20. Will development be faster? I am pretty sure Will the result be better? SW-Quality, see wikipedia Questions and answers
