Episode 49: Async and Stuff

The notes for this episode were lost when Phil spilt some really hipster orange juice over his
laptop and bricked the whole thing. We do remember that returning guest Chris Boden and Chris Pitt swing by to talk async in PHP.

In a future episode we’ll probably talk about data backup strategies.

• Benchmarking Codswallop: NodeJS vs PHP - An oldie but a goody, why NodeJS isn’t magically better at async than PHP


• Ratchet - WebSockets for PHP


• A Case for Async PHP - Chris Pitt wrote about this stuff on Medium


• icicle.io - Write asynchronous code using synchronous coding techniques in PHP
