On his blog today, Kaj Kandler has posted some thoughts about the Boston PHP User Group meeting he attended (for August) and the talk that Scott Mattocks gave concerning PHP-GTK.

Scott Mattocks introduced the basic concepts of PHP-GTK 2. He gave a well researched sample application using PHP and the Gimp Toolkit (GTK). The application queried an online database of events. His presentation went from from an empty window to the mostly functioning application with query form and result page.

Kaj also mentions the time following where talk of widgets and long running tasks abounded. They also asked the question several looking into using PHP-GTK ask - why use it over just a standard web interface? Check out the post for their answer...
