Book Reviews
Some of the books I've read recently - mostly programming/development related.
Tech/Programming/Conference Talks I've enjoyed
Talks that I've found particularly interesting or useful with a summary were appropriate.
About Me
Hi, I'm a full stack programmer/web developer based in Yorkshire, by day I fight crime mostly write PHP (Yep heard it all before) - don't believe everything you read, usually using either Symfony or Laravel which makes writing PHP much more pleasant.
For fun I program in Python, Kotlin and TypeScript.
