PHP 5.4 Features

CakeFest, PHPNW and ZendCon, September/October 2012

This talk was part of my submissions to a number of CfPs which were all at the same time – and all the events accepted it. So This talk appeared, almost without modification, at CakeFest in Manchester, PHPNW also in Manchester, and ZendCon in California.

Get Some REST

OSCON, July 2012

My attempt to give some good advice on RESTful APIs (and to some extent APIs in general) in 35 minutes. The room was packed and the audience were excellent!

The PHP 5.4 Features You Will Actually Use

OSCON, July 2012

This talk is an entirely subjective list of my favourite PHP 5.4 features (I’m giving this talk a few more times this year, and I expect it to change each time as I use more/different 5.4 things)

OAuth: A Question of Trust

Dutch PHP Conference, June, 2012

A favourite topic for a favourite conference! I love DPC with its super-geeky audience and I enjoyed giving this OAuth talk . I spoke on almost the same topic last year, but this year was high-level and much more geared towards OAuth 2.

Web Services Tutorial

Dutch PHP Conference, June 2012

Not a totally new tutorial but still a favourite topic! I delivered this to a very technical audience at DPC and really enjoyed it!

Web Services PHP Tutorial from Lorna Mitchell

I also prepared a bit of example code (look out for some bugs in the rest bits – pull requests very gratefully received!) which you can find on bitbucket: https://bitbucket.org/lornajane/web-services-tutorial-code

Best Practice in API Design

phpDay, May 2012

Loved giving this talk at PHP Day in Verona – I hadn’t spoken in Italy before and everyone was friendly and super-helpful, Verona is beautiful and I had a really excellent time! My audience were great and asked some good questions which I always enjoy – in theory this is a talk I’ve given before, in practice it comes out different every time as I work with more APIs and bring different experiences (war stories!) to the proceedings.
