Yesterday I was asked a rather interesting question about presenting technical presentations. While I don’t think my method will work for everyone, I feel it’s a good thing to talk about. So here’s my method, and some advice that I would give first time presenters:

I will be speaking several times in the coming months at several conferences in the US and Europe. I hope to see you at one of these events!

Today, I did a talk at The Dutch PHP Conference 2013 on how PHP works under the hood. Click through for the slides!

Today, I’m doing a talk at DrupalCon Portland 2013 on Static analysis and code metrics. Here are the slides for that talk. When the videos are posted, I’ll make a followup post that links to it. Click through for the slides!

It’s been a little while since I’ve posted anything here or on YouTube. I’ve been working on some interesting ideas that hopefully will be pretty decent, so it wasn’t time wasted. But I figured now would be a good time to tell you about some upcoming speaking engagements that I have, and where I’ll be over the next few months. So with no further adue:

Today, I’m doing a talk at PHP Benelux 13 on Password Storage and Attacking in PHP. Here are the slides for that talk, as well as the accompanying GitHub repo that I use throughout the talk. When the videos are posted, I’ll make a followup post that links to it. Without rambling on further, click through for the links!

This week’s Programming With Anthony video is up! In it, we discuss the foundations of Boolean Logic and introduce some very interesting tools for analyzing logical constructs (including Truth Tables and De Morgan’s Laws). So without any further ado:

I’ve got a few talks coming up in the near future, so if you can make one of these events, be sure to come say hi to me!

The third video to my Programming With Anthony series is up! In this video, I talk about variables in PHP and how they work under the hood. I explain the difference between variable references and object references, along with the semantics of each. Give it a watch!

This afternoon, I gave another talk at TrueNorth PHP. The talk is a version of a previous talk that I gave on Object Oriented Design. I’ve changed it significantly, so here are the slides.
