Welcome to the resources section. Here you will find a growing collection of resources related to various PHP, architecture, and internet technology subjects which I have have found personally useful. Please feel free to contact me if you have comments or suggestions!

Here is a collection of conference presentations I've given over the years at conferences around the world. If you've recently seen a talk of mine and are looking for the matierals chances are if they aren't here yet then they will be shortly (note: sometimes I am unable to put the materials online for various reasons).

All of my conference presentations are hosted at Slide Share and can be viewed right within the browser by clicking on the title.
