PHP Deployment With Subversion

DPC 2008, June 2008

This was my first conference speaking gig, and I’ve got mixed feelings about it. I was pushedencouraged by my CTO and colleague Ivo Jansch, and at the time I was rather overwhelmed by the whole experience. But it introduced me to speaking and now it seems like an excellent way to begin. I did get the main stage though, very scary and I will never forget how nervous I was!

PHP Deployment With Subversion

PHP London, June 2008

This was the rehearsal for delivering exactly the same talk a week later at DPC in Amsterdam. I was horribly nervous and have memories of a very hot night and wishing people would stop asking me questions! No slides for this one as I published them after the DPC talk.

Deploying Web Projects with Subversion

Geekup, May 2008

Jag Gill started up a Geekup in Sheffield and invited me to speak at the first edition – since I was preparing for speaking at DPC, this worked out well for me! This was lightning talk format as well although Geekup Sheffield has since moved to less strict talk formats.

Enterprise PHP Development

Geekup Leeds, April 2008

Lightning talk format version of a talk usually given by Ivo Jansch, this was purely to give me some speaking experience. 20:20 style is quite hard to do well!

Source Control Saves Lives

BarCamp Leeds, November 2007

This was my first ever speaking attempt. Luckily someone videoed it and I got a lot better after this! The blog post doesn’t have the speaking tag, because I didn’t know I needed one, and the presentation is uploaded to my blog and not to slideshare, again I guess because I didn’t know that was what one did.
