When I compose a newsletter, I look at my well of possible materials–questions, links, blog posts, etc., and try to come up with a theme, if at all possible. When looking at these this time around, the ones that seemed most worth sharing immediately all focus on, well, me. For example, there’s the presentation I gave to Boston PHP: you can view the slides and the raw video of it. Or there are some articles that I’ve published online that you might like. And there’s the status on “The Yii Book”.

So this newsletter is far more me-centric than most, but hopefully it’ll be of use to you still. Because, presumably, you subscribed to this newsletter in the first place because you were interested in what I’m doing, thinking, interested in, and so forth.

Also, if you do have something you’d like me to write about, address, or answer in future newsletters, now is a good time to send that in, as my well of topics is getting shallow. I think my next newsletter is going to be on goals, if you have any thoughts or questions along those lines (e.g., technologies to learn, ways to learn, etc.). I’ve also got an upcoming newsletter planned on public speaking.

And, as always, thanks for your interest in what I have to say and do!

The presentation WAS recorded, and I’ll post a link to that once I know what it is. There’s also a page of related resources that I need to create, which I hope to do over the weekend.

My thanks to everyone for coming out, and to those others of you interested in this.

I’ve posted my slides from my “Introduction to the Yii Framework” presentation that I gave at True North PHP in Toronto, Canada on November 2, 2012. Although the conference organizers had hoped to record all the sessions, that didn’t end up working out. I should also warn you that half, or more than half, of the presentation was me doing a live development of a Yii-based site. All that content is not reflected in the slides. Those caveats aside, here you go…
