Experiences in Digital Representation


WES Conference, November 2010
This was an unexpected gem of an event – I got only a few days’ notice of the speaking and slot, and I didn’t know anyone. What I didn’t expect was how instantly I felt like I belonged in a room full of very assorted female engineers (my degree is in Electronic Engineering, these women actually think like I do!). I loved bringing a little of my professional experience to these women, for them to use for their many and varied ends :)

Open Source Your Career


DayCamp 4 Developers, November 2010
Delighted to be included in this virtual conference organised by my good friend Cal Evans! I haven’t done a virtual conference before but this promises to be a great oportunity and I’m excited about being able to share my thoughts with a new crowd. The aim of the event is to give soft skills for developers, so I’m hopeful that the professional development talk fits in well.

Starting with Git: Cheat Sheet


ThinkVitamin: Carsonified Blog
While it’s true that I don’t exactly love git, I do use it extensively and lead an increasingly active open source project that uses it. Like everything else it is just a tool and everything is fairly easy when you know how. So this article is the cheat sheet I wish I’d had when I made the transition myself.

Introduction to SPL


PHPNW User Group, November 2010
I’ll be speaking at PHPNW in November, about SPL (Standard PHP Library). There are some great features in there, most of which I don’t make enough use of, so hoping to share some ideas with the crowd and maybe get a few back in return!
