Event-Driven PHP

ReactPHP and Icicle bring the power of Promises (and plus coroutines) to PHP. In this talk, I’ll cover Promise-driven architecture and expose the amazing power of these patterns. We’ll also discuss concurrency, delving into adjacent topics like threading and the observer pattern.

JavaScript exposed most of us to Promises, making it easy for scripts to run asynchronously and respond to events on demand. ReactPHP and Icicle brought the same power - plus coroutines - to PHP. In this talk, I’ll cover the wonderful world of Promise-driven architecture and expose you to the amazing power these patterns give us. We’ll also talk a fair amount about concurrency, delving into alternate and adjacent topics like threading and the observer pattern. Your PHP will never be the same!
