Reacting: Asynchronous PHP

Node.js has exploded in popularity over the last couple years but neither Javascript nor event based programming are new. Why the sudden interest? This talk will introduce you to asynchronous, evented, networked programming in PHP with the React framework. We'll briefly take a deeper look how traditional, synchronous PHP websites operate at a networking level and then how evented programming will fundamentally change the way you think. While this talk provides examples using React you'll learn about framework and language agnostic concepts.
