Teach A Man To Fish

php|tek, May 2011

Excited to be bringing a favourite talk to a favourite conference! I’ve spoken at php|tek for the last couple of years and loved the experience every time. This talk is about team coaching and how to raise your game, and the game of people around you, with some effort and a little investment.

Best Practice in Web Service Design

php|tek, May 2011

I’ve given this talk before, but I’ve learned so much since then that I suspect a full rewrite may be in order! Talking about the human side of APIs, no code, no data formats, just good clean direction on how to create an API that is robust, secure, delightful to use and painless to maintain. This session could be retitled “10 thing I wish other people had known about designing a web service before I was forced to use what they made” :)

OAuth

DPC, May 2011

Three years after giving my first ever conference talk at DPC08, I am finally back there to speak again! Best of all, it’s a technical talk on a topic I am both excited about and actively working with – exciting!

Zend Certification Tutorial

DPC, May 2011

This is a full-day tutorial slot to cover the entire syllabus of the Zend Certification Exam … which has so much content it clearly takes a week just to run through it all. Nevertheless, I impart as much knowledge and as many tips as humanly possible in the time provided – fun or exhausting, you choose!

Web Services Tutorial

PHP Community Conference, April 2011

This half-day tutorial is a “play along” session: the code is available to grab beforehand and you can dip into it as we go along if you wish. I’ll be covering how to consume and also publish services, with a lot of detailed PHP code examples, diving in to data formats, service types, HTTP theory and also having fun building a service in this hands-on session. This is my first time delivering a tutorial in my own right and I’m quite excited!

The State of PHP

.net Magazine, May 2011

Editorial for .net magazine about PHP, its urban myths, and why things are not quite so bad. My first time seeing myself in widely-available print and it was a blast to write!
