This is why I come to conferences. I would never have discovered this on the web. Excellent talk. Looking forward to hearing more about the work. -- (Kick self... remember to login!!)
PHP on the D-BUS
Derick Rethans (13.Jun.2009 at 02:00)
Talk at Dutch PHP Conference 2009 (English - US)
The D-BUS Inter Process Communication mechanism is the basis for many system-related functionality on Linux-based systems. Both GNOME, KDE, as well as the Open Moko Linux computing platform use it extensively for everything related to talking to services and hardware. Skype, as well as other applications, provide D-BUS APIs as well.
In this presentation I will be presenting a PHP/D-BUS integration to allow PHP to talk to D-BUS aware applications. I will demonstrate controlling Skype from PHP, as well as the implementation of PHP-GTK based applications on the OpenMoko to talk to, and use the different hardware services it offers, such as GSM and GPS.
This talk should show a few things that people don't really associate PHP with, and thus provide some insight that PHP's strength is not only on the Web.

Great talk, demonstrated very well how d-bus works and how you can use it in PHP. Or at least, how you can use it once he releases the code :). Especially the live demo's were very refreshing, cool gadgets that get controlled via php are always a plus.

Nice to see how PHP can be used for other implementations than you would normally expect. Some nice examples with great interaction with the audience, which is not found too often in a presentation.

I had never really looked at PHP in this way so found the talk very useful. While I probably still won't (at least for now) it certainly opened my eyes to a wider PHP world. The talk was well presented with examples and "audience interaction"
