Best Practices for Web Service Design

PHP UK, February 2010

This talk is the sister of my “Working with Web Services” talk – this one deals with the server end of the relationship and covers more architectural topics around designing a good service, how to deliver a useful product to the consumers of the service, and how to create a service that will be stable and maintainable to keep up with the evolving needs of the application. This was my first time speaking at London after 3 years of attending – and it was a great experience.

Best Practices in Web Service Design from Lorna Mitchell

PHP for Web Services

SuperMonday, February 2010

The Supermondays group is a regular meetup of various technical people in the North East of England, and I’ll be speaking at their PHP feature night about using PHP with web services – something I do a lot! This is a new crowd for me and also interesting to bring PHP technology ideas to a crowd that is technical without being PHP-specific.

Best Practices for Web Service Design

PHPNW User Group, February 2010

This is the same talk as the one later in the month at PHPUK, very happy that I’m able to give it to the PHPNW group as well (they’re also a very qualified audience for spotting mistakes in talks and asking the obvious questions!). No slides, look at the PHPUK version for those.

Passing the Joel Test in the PHP World

PHPBenelux, January 2010

Delighted to be bringing this talk to the first-ever PHP Benelux conference. I got some great feedback from the last time I gave the talk and hoping it will be better again for this European audience. Also loving being able to catch up with the many friends I have in that part of the world!

Working with Web Services

PHPBarcelona, October 2009

This talk is a complete overview of the theory, tools and some tips for dealing with consuming web services of all kinds. It covers service types, data types, and different ways of working with these from PHP, with examples. I had many more attendees in this session than I expected, and it was a fun talk to give.

Working with Web Services

Bradford LUG, October 2009

This is the same talk as the next one at Barcelona – this local Linux User Group graciously agreed to allow me to rehearse my PHP conference talk at them. They were a great crowd and asked some really good questions.
