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!

OAuth

PHP West Midlands User Group, April 2011
It’s been a whole year since I last made it along to see the PHPWM crowd, and once again they are providing me with a suitably scarily well-qualified technical audience for a talk I’ll give at a conference later in the summer. I love OAuth and I’m super-excited about giving this talk, with its real-world examples and proper HTTP geekiness!

Object Oriented Programming

PHPNW User Group, April 2011
Part of the “back to basics” series at PHPNW, I’ll be talking about OOP theory, starting at the very beginning. I think too often programmers start picking up and using OOP and sometimes they miss out on some of the concepts (and some great tricks!) along the way. Hoping to bring something new for everyone during the course of this session.

Could you Telecommute?

DayCamp4Developers, March 2011
After having a ball presenting at the first DayCamp4Developers, I’m very happy to be invited to join the party the second time around! I’ll be giving a talk entitled “Could You Telecommute?”, talking about how telecommuting may not work for everyone, and some strategies for helping yourself make it work.

Design Patterns

PHP East Midlands User Group, March 2011
Delighted that this relatively new user group is running along strongly and has also managed to organise me to visit them and speak! I love getting to the user groups and am delighted to get to this one in particular for the first time.
