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.

Passing the Joel Test in the PHP World

PHPNW09, October 2009

I’m one of the organisers for this conference, this was the second time we ran the event. The conference is tied to the local user group which I also help to organise, so speaking for this audience was kind of special as is “home turf” for me – and they are a great crowd! The talk is a nice tour of software development best practices, tied in to the thoughts of leading software writing Joel Spolsky, and updated to take account of aspects which apply specifically to web application development.

Architecting Web Services

FOWA Tour, May 2009

I was delighted to be invited as the local speaker for this FOWA event – Carsonified are known for their great conferences and this one was no exception. It was a different crowd to my usual PHP geeks audience, but they were great all the same.
