High gear PHP with Gearman
Felix De Vliegher (May 14, 2010 at 17:00)
Talk at phpDay 2010 (English - UK)
Gearman is an application framework for distributing work to other machines and processors which are better suited for the job. It can be used in a variety of applications, from high-availability web sites to the transport of database replication events. In other words, it is the nervous system for how distributed processing communicates. With things like scalability and distributed computing becoming more and more important to today's web applications, Gearman and its PHP interface can prove quite useful to us in a variety of situations. In this talk, we'll first have a look at what distributed processing exactly means, and then looking at what Gearman actually is and does, and how it can power up your application using its PHP interface. By showing different examples and application area's, you'll get a good feeling of what Gearman is capable of and why it can be a valuable asset to your next PHP project

A great intro to gearman. The speaker managed to describe how "simple" yet powerful the system is. Made me want to go and try it out. Felix was also very kind to answer a couple of questions after the speech.

Very good talk shining light on the various aspects of gearman and its applications.
Still interesting, even I knew about it before - got several people in the auditorium interested and excited about the possibilities of job task / handling with gearman.
