The application is chock-full of Ajaxy goodness and plenty of features, but I'm here to talk about what you can do with your calendar data behind the scenes. Using some handy tools from the Swiss Army Knife that is the Zend Framework, I'll show you how to pull data from your Google Calendar into your site. Just for kicks, I'll also throw in a caching layer to keep things fast and reduce the network traffic between your server and Google.

Since HTTP uses a stateless request-response method to transfer web pages, all but the simplest web applications need a way to store data between requests. The best way to accomplish this in PHP is to use sessions.

By default, session data is stored on the filesystem in individual files. This works fine for most people, but when it comes to storing session data, PHP has several options available. This article will discuss some of the built-in options for session storage and also show you how to write your own session handler.
