Padraic Brady’s Blog: The Mysteries Of Asynchronous Processing With PHP

Asynchronous processing should be well known concept for all developers. Although idea is commonly known, you will not find many tasks implementations in PHP. Padraic Brady wants to change it.

Before we run off and implement some examples, we first need a task! Once it’s identified, we then need to separate it from the application so it can be processed as an independent unit of work. To add to this, we should also make sure it’s reusable, essentially returning to our Object Oriented basics.

Padraic already publish two parts of his tutorial: Asynchronous Benefits, Task Identification and Implementation Methods
 and Making Zend Framework Applications CLI Accessible and is working on third part. He not only presents and explains his approach but also gives solid theoretical knowledge of the topic.
