Far Too Sweet To Be Sour

My (Our, Chris included) slides have been featured on the front page of SlideShare's website!
Small time success yes, but success none the less. Take that Ed Schipul, my slides are right next to yours! (Btw Ed, I still think your presentation you gave to refreshBCS was good, but I still disagree with your thoughts on work days and work weeks).
Watching an interesting presentation right now on a new service called AlphaBeta Finder.
It's an interesting approach to user testing, AlphaBeta Finder aggregates users that are willing to test software and allows you to get ahold of testers based on technical requirements.
Maybe we can use it in our workflow at Net Perspective? It would be good to start finding a good pool of users to test our client sites and Horizon.
Of getting office space in downtown Bryan.
Of course that hurts when we're trying to capitalize on student employees, but man, the phat pipes...
That and hosting at the Fibertown datacenter would be amazing, however we'd have to get a full time IT guy...
Excellent talk by R.A.
I loved the industry examples of no JavaScript failovers, and the point he made about the difference between Progressive Refinement and Graceful Degradation was very good (Progressie Refinement is the design around the content/basic view first, then getting more and more advanced as opposed to designing the advanced first and then throwing in failovers).
Good job Andrew, good talk.
Poor guy, I signed him up for his talk and then told him after the fact.
I'll try and get the slides from him and post them here.
These are the powerpoint slides from the presentation I gave at Bar Camp Texas, 2008. The slides are currently out of date, I'll publish the fixed ones later.

So, crazy me decided to give a talk at BarCamp Texas on MVC design in PHP.
With the prevalence of MVC frameworks becoming more and more ubiquitous in PHP development (CakePHP, Symfony, and the Zend frameworks), I wanted to make sure that (a) the non-developer types were introduced to such styles of PHP development, and (b) introduce those developers with little formal experience (very common in the PHP world) to what MVC actually is and that MVC does NOT require large expansive libraries.
I could do my presentation showing out to setup a basic application with an existing application, however I don't feel that would be beneficial. The idea is knowledge portability, and I feel a good understanding of the basics of OO design will be transferable to any other frameworks, since all the aforementioned frameworks have excellent "getting started" tutorials.
When I finalize my slides, I will post them here for people to take a look at, possibly to berate my retardedness.
