MongoDB and PHP Address Book

Net Magazine, June 2012
I so love being in print in @netmag! Once again I co-authored with Steve Francia from 10gen, this time to show off a little more interesting schema design, including the geo features in MongoDB.

It’s a paper publication but they also offer digital versions, this was issue 228, June 2012.

Git, GitHub and Open Source

Leeds PHP, March 2012
As an open source project lead, I meet lots of folk who are keen to code, but who haven’t used git before. This session was to get everyone up to speed with how the pieces fit together and how to get involved in open source.

Interview on 7PHP

7php, March, 2012
I was recently interviewed by the 7php website: http://7php.com/php-interview-lorna-jane-mitchell/. This was quite fun to do, but I should definitely delete questions I don’t want to answer rather than give flippant responses! Do take the time to read the rest of the series, there have been some really good interviews on there.

Build an app with MongoDB

Netmagazine, Issue 226, March 2012
Fabulous multipage tutorial article in @netmag, co-authored with the ever-geeky Steve Francia from 10gen. This one was a lot of fun to write, in theory it was about MongoDB but in practice it turned into a bit of a PHP 5.3 features showcase as well *and* gave me a chance to show off slim framework which is always good! It’s actually the first in a series – there’s a followup which creates an address book rather than a blog.

It’s a paper publication but they also offer digital versions, you want issue 226, April 2012
