Tomorrow night, Thursday, August 1, at 7:30PM ET, I’ll be doing a live online interview with Matt Murphy of the Boston PHP group. In the interview, I’ll preview the three presentations I’ll be given at the Northeast PHP conference in Boston on August 17th and 18th. The plan is to broadcast the interview live (via Google Hangouts On Air, I think). If this all works, I’ll be able to answer questions sent to @nephp or @larryullman. For more information and details (to be determined), watch this page or @nephp, @bostonphp, and @larryullman.

Tickets will go on sale in early April. You can follow Pittsburgh TechFest 2013 on Twitter at @pghtechfest13.
My specific presentation is a new one for me, and one that I’ve been thinking about giving for a little while now. I’ll have an hour time block at Pittsburgh TechFest. Right now, the outline of my presentation looks like…
