Over the last few years, I’ve had the opportunity to speak as several user groups and conferences. Currently I give the “PHP Basics” presentations for the Utah PHP Usergroup each month.
I am currently available to speak at conferences and user groups. Feel free to contact me to see if I am available for to speak at your event.
Previous Talks
Here are the slides for the previous talks I have given. I’ll always keep a copy of my slides here for people to reference back.
Salt: The New Server Configuration Management Tool

I highly recommend viewing the html5 slides for this talk. The PDF export worked okay, but not nearly as nice as the actual slides.

High Performance Data with Redis and PHP
php|architect – July 2011
There are times when MySQL, or another RDBMS, cannot perform under certain circumstances, such as high volumes of reads and writes. While there are many other data store options, there is an excellent candidate when raw speed is a must. This article will describe when Redis might be a great fit for your application.
