Always good news when a conference comes to my home town so I was delighted to kick off the TechnologyUG event in Leeds with this ChatOps talk. Good crowd and some good chatter about the topic in the hallway afterwards!
API Survival Kit Workshop
The slides and “cheatsheet” resource for my FOWA tutorial. Probably only useful to people who saw the rest of the workshop though …

What to expect from PHP 7
PHP 7 is getting me giddy and excited, and PHPNW let me go on their stage to be giddy and excited (and hopefully impart some useful technical knowledge as well) about it! Performance improvements, shiny new syntax, and a few gotchas to look out for on upgrade – it’s all here. (The video is really dark in places but the sound quality is OK so bear with it …)
ChatOps With Hubot
First outing for this talk on ChatOps in general and hubot in particular at the excellent and local Leeds DevOps user group. They asked some wicked hard questions and also shared some excellent chat-related stories in the bar afterwards – thanks people!
Advanced Git
The advanced git talk is always fun to deliver to developers already familiar with git and this was no exception. The Laracon audience were great even though this was the last slot before lunch and I’m sure everyone was hungry.
No slides, just video (because it’s all demo). The feedback is on joind.in
What to Expect from PHP7
PHP7 is approaching fast, and currently we’re at RC1. This talk was my opportunity to share what I’m most excited about with an impressively large audience very early on a Sunday morning after an excellent party the night before at froscon :)
