Introduction to OAuth


Think Vitamin: Carsonified Blog
I love services and have built a few identity systems in my time, so I’ve been watching the advent of OAuth with interest, and loving what I see. So many people see oauth as overcomplicated; it isn’t, but it does have multiple steps which can make it seem a bit long-winded! Hopefully this makes it a bit clearer, with sections for users and developers.

Working With Web Services


LeedsPHP User Group, October 2010
There’s a fledgling user group in my local town and they asked me to speak at this month’s event. I was pleased to do so and even more pleased when they specifically asked for something on web services – this talk is a favourite of mine!

Teach a Man to Fish: Coaching Development Teams – Keynote


PHPNW, October 2010
My very first keynote talk, a new talk, and my home conference. I’ve been thinking more and more about how teams can work together to improve, using as much internal (i.e. free!) resource as possible plus some external input – this talk is those ideas put together and presented to an audience that I know from experience are great fun to speak for.
