Wrangle Cross-cutting Concerns with Event Driven Programming

Event driven programming is becoming essential to many applications and frameworks that can be utilized to make your application more flexible and “plugin” ready.

Learn how to effectively use events in applications to reduce code complexity of cross-cutting concerns, how various frameworks implement events and make them available to the developer, and the benefits and drawbacks of utilizing aspect oriented development with real world examples.

We will also look at many popular frameworks (Symfony2, CakePHP, Zend, etc) to see how their event architecture is implemented at a bird’s-eye view and how developers can take advantage, including a demo using Symfony2’s dispatcher to illustrate the benefits of event driven design.
