Some things that need to be processed in a web based application can take a long time to run.
Moving this work to be done in a background worker can provide lots of benefits for the user and make your life easier as a developer.
Dan's going to talk about this stuff, going through exactly what the problems are, how to implement background workers, and the diverse benefits they give.

Dan touched on some really interesting areas with his talk, giving examples of how to solve a problem that many of us have faced in a web environment at some time. It was clear that he had a deep knowledge of some of the problems he'd solved and some very relevant technologies.
The main feedback I'd have is that I think less may have been more. It might have been good to focus on a single area of the problem and describe and demonstrate it in depth rather than just a high-level overview of all aspects. I suspect that with a specific focus the content could have been more structured.
In summary the talk has given me a few technologies I want to explore a little more. So, thanks!
Great talk from Dan. Good use of humor to engage everyone. I can't comment on how technically insightful it was since I'm not a dev!
With his long flowing hair and big bushy beard the speaker has real stage presence along with a sense of humour. His slides were nice and clear and included working live examples, or it appeared so, and well-presented code samples. There were some (interesting) deviations from the topic but the presentation was a good mix of theory and practice giving a really informative overview of running PHP scripts as background workers and the additional technologies (Redis queues, supervisord, etc) that could be involved.
A good talk and useful.
