Event Loop All asynchronous magic would be impossible without Even loop. It is the core of any asynchronous application. We register events and handlers for them. When an event is fired the event loop triggers an appropriate handler. This allows...
READ MOREManaging ReactPHP Promises
16 Jan 2018
Asynchronous application is always a composition of independently executing things. In concurrency, we are dealing with a lot of different things at once. You can compare it with I\O driver in your OS (mouse, keyboard, display). They all are managed...
