For this year’s lightning talks night I presented a fast brain-dump on everything I now know about being freelance – a year after making the leap.
PHP Features: Data structures in PHP
Super-excited to be published again in netmag, they didn’t hold back from the geeky topics when they agreed to let me write about the datastructures we have available in PHP. This article covers a bit about SPL and some information (plus real examples of course) about some of the structures PHP gives us in the SPL library. You can order back issues of this magazine – it’s issue 217
Understanding Distributed Source Control
Did someone say “technical conference” and “north east” in the same sentence? I am delighted to be speaking at this 2-track designer/developer conference at the Sage in Newcastle in June.

Teach A Man To Fish
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
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
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!
