Linde002::PHP

This talk was given by Elizabeth Smith (aurorarose) at the unConference. It was mainly a PHP-GTK2 tutorial that built a GTK twitter app but an interesting point she made were that, unlike what most people say, the desktop won’t fade out into a void. People will always need desktop applications because a: not everybody has access to the internet all the time, b: some apps are too bandwith consuming and c: you don’t want to send sensitive data over the web if you don’t have to.

Another cool thing was that she’d be looking into adding the GTK threading libs to PHP-GTK so we might get threading in future versions, no more Gtk::main_iteration_do(true);  Well less anyway.
