Thanks to everyone who came to my talk at #PHPUK26 yesterday. It was an awesome event with great people.

It was also my first full conference talk and despite being a bag of nerves beforehand, it seemed to go OK. I've got some great feedback as well for improving my presentation style.

I'm giving the same talk (with improvements) at PHP Thames Valley in Reading on Monday.

51% of people at #PHPUK26 saying they would use var_dump instead of step debugging with xdebug.

Respect for you for doing it all in hard mode but seriously, give xdebug a try; it’s worth the effort.

The opening keynote at #PHPUK26 and its @GeeH@phpc.social giving a talk on ‘It Depends’ with audience voting on different questions.

The photo timing with the slide is just perfect!

Not long to go until UK PHP Conference. Slightly nervous as it's my first time speaking at anything larger than a user group; but looking forward to it

My talk is Protocols, Packets and PHP: Networking Fundamentals for Developers. A nice intro to networking and why it's useful to know how it works.
