PHP Features: Data structures in PHP

.net Magazine, June 2011

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

DIBI, June 2011

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

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!
