Part of Zend’s Webinar series, this is my “PHP 5.4 Features You Will Actually Use” talk. You can find the recording from this session (had some good questions as well as the talk) here: http://www.zend.com/en/resources/webinars/php?#PHP54
REST for Web Developers
I wrote this new talk for my local user group, LeedsPHP, when they invited me as a speaker for their monthly meeting.
7 Steps to Better APIs
Subtitled “Design successful RESTful APIs”, this article was a blast to write, although blatantly there are 8 tips included in the article :) It was published in the March 2013 issue of netmagazine, issue 238, and they absolutely blew my mind by including it on the front page :)

PHP 5.4
This relatively new publication has had some great content so far, and approached me to write about the newest version of PHP, 5.4. I’ve been speaking on this topic already so I had plenty of examples to share and was delighted to get involved.
Web and PHP Magazine is a free PDF download, you want Issue 9
SSH Tips
I was overjoyed to be invited to join in with the webadvent project this year (what used to be PHP advent but we’re all writing more languages now). For my topic, I picked SSH – it’s a simple thing but it isn’t always explained clearly to people who haven’t used it before, and also there are some fun tricks that even regular users may not have seen.
Git and Github: Everything You Need To Know
This talk was in the unconference at ZendCon: I had submitted it into the main conference, then given the same talk at another event a couple of days before. I answered three git questions in the first 36 hours I was at this conference so I put this talk into the unconference in an attempt to “scale up” my ability to field git questions :) The slides are below but the talk is also closely based on my written version, which you can read here: http://lornajane.net/posts/2012/do-open-source-with-git-and-github (for those people who prefer to read than imagine what I might have said in front of any given slide!)
