Very interesting look at streams by a very engaging speaker. I have the photos of bucket brigade :)
Streams, Sockets and Filters - Oh My!
Elizabeth Marie Smith (20.May.2010 at 13:30)
Talk at TEK·X (English - US)
Some of the most powerful features of PHP are the most underused. SPL, XML handling, and of course, streams. But what are PHP streams and how can you use (and abuse) them? This is an in depth look at PHP's streams layer.
Learn about built in PHP stream transports and how to use them (yes, you can do an http request with no curl). See how filters can make a templating system fast and efficient. Take a quick look at how to manipulate sockets and create your own socket server, without an additional extension. Finally learn to create your own stream wrappers and filters, and how to use them.

The bucket brigade demonstration was awesome. Code samples were great for reinforcing the concepts introduced. Great intro to streams if you haven't worked with them before. I think my only problem was the sheer amount of information in the presentation - it went to time, but it was dense. Seems like it would be a great tutorial.

I enjoyed this talk immensely. It was just enough information for me to go out and figure out how to practically implement this stuff on my own... which I'm going to do for all my PHP SSH connections :)

Always one of the most entertaining speakers to listen to, Elizabeth does an awesome job keeping the audience entertained while beating them over the head with what can be the most confusing and complicated subjects.
While the talk was excellent and very deserving of it's 5-rating, it really felt like it might have been better suited as a tutorial session or two separate 1 hour sessions. The basics of using the languages' built in streams was jumped through quickly, and near the end felt slightly rushed as building your own stream from scratch was covered. Given the time frame, the subject matter was covered perfectly, but I left wanting even more.
The only real complaint is that at the end, it would have been nice to see the entire completed custom stream in one full class writeup, and followed with an example of it in use. In the end it was hard to really visualize how everything learned would fit together.
