Linux-Fu for PHP Developers

php|tek, May 2009
This was a great talk to be giving, I’m a command-line geek and I enjoyed sharing my tips with the audience. I was worried it would be quite a dry talk – just a list of commands to run – but it was fun to do :)

Using and Understanding the Community

php|tek, May 2009
This talk was the brain-child of my copresenter, Stefan Koopmanschap. We talked about the community and different ways to get involved with it, and evangelised about everyone contributing to the whole ecosystem – this talk went over so well we had to deliver it again in a spare slot which came up the next day! There are no slides, we didn’t use any (our slides became our script instead, we had slides until a few days before the talk)

Practical SVN for PHP Developers

php|tek, May 2009
This was a half-day tutorial I delivered jointly with Matthew Weier O’Phinney. My first attempt at a tutorial and I really enjoyed the experience. We covered using and administering SVN and also talked about a bunch of tools. I gave some live demos of a couple of tricky bits of SVN usage – resolving conflicts and merging branches.

Linux-Fu for PHP Developers

PHPGG, April 2009
I was going to the Ibuildings office in Utrecht to prepare another talk with a colleague, and the dutch PHP user group took the opportunity to ask me to speak to them while I was there. I have a lot of friends in the dutch PHP community, and a talk to polish for php|tek, so I jumped at the chance! No slides, I didn’t upload them until after I’d given this talk at php|tek.

Linux-Fu for PHP Developers

Geekup Leeds, February 2009
I got a talk of the same title accepted to php|tek 2009 and used this session to figure out if I can talk and type at the same time, since I was warned by everyone that this was a Bad Idea and I figured if I can do it in lighting talk format, I can do it anywhere! It turns out I can do both and that it really isn’t very interesting to watch. Later versions of this talk had no typing, just pre-prepared output shots. No slides, because they were just a title and then I overlaid the terminal window.

Professional Development for Girl Geeks

Leeds Girl Geek Dinner, August 2008
This was the first Girl Geek Dinner event we held in Leeds and I gave a short talk basically encouraging the women to put themselves forward. I memorably also stood on the gaffa tape holding down all the various leads and ended up stuck to the floor for most of the talk! The slides are a bit thin because much of the talk didn’t really need them, read the blog post though.
