James Cox, Smokeclouds![]() James Cox has been developing and interacting with the web for the last six years, building apps small and big. Having worked on projects as diverse as editorially driven content management through e-commerce, he has a wide range of scenarios to draw from. Having not only developed small projects, James has experience managing high scalability situations too. Starting with PHP's website, php.net, he spent many years managing the various services within the infrastructure team, learning the tricks of the trade and experimenting with new techniques. Since, then James has solved the scalability and uptime issues of a major Mid-East online news source, a massively popular webzine serving over 10 million hits a day, and has helped twitter get started working on their problems. Within the community James has worked on testing new availability scenarios with other leading scalability evangelists and continues to research new ways to attain high performance webapps. |
