The Nomad PHP virtual user group has announce the latest meeting - this time it's Corey Ballou presenting about realtime applications and WebSockets in July.

We’ll start out with a brief introduction to WebSockets to get everyone up to speed before jumping in to high level scaffolding code of the frontend and backend implemetations (the spec). Once the groundwork has been laid, I’ll introduce you to a both client and server side tools for implementing WebSockets directly in your PHP code. From here, we’ll jump into multiple interactive demos of increasing complexity utilizing the open source Ratchet library. I’ll walk through the source code of the first two intro demos to give you a better sense of how to structure your own WebSockets applications

If time allows, I’ll run through a complex demo where I introduced WebSockets to an existing CRUD todo application. The last demo is not for the faint of heart. By the end of the presentation, you’ll walk away with access to a github repository containing all of the presentation slides and demos ready to run yourself!

You can pick up your tickets for this meeting (happening July 25th) directly from the Nomad PHP site.
