PHP Security by Example

Almost an entire month has passed since my last blog entry, and a lot has happened. I'll try to catch up over the next week or two.

About a week ago, the Flash version of PHP Security by Example was Dugg.

I'm always disappointed to see trolls (Digg seems to have a bigger problem with this than Slashdot), but a few of the comments raise some valid questions. I'll try to summarize and answer those here.

It's true that slides are never a substitute for a talk, and this is especially true for this one, because it's a hands-on workshop. It's something Marco calls a BYOL (bring your own laptop), and it involves a lot of one-on-one attention and hand-holding.

The reason it's in Flash is because the person submitting the story linked to the Flash version. :-) To be fair, the only other format available for this talk is PDF. I've been wanting to create a nice web application for viewing Keynote slides. I think the best approach might be to export the slides as images, and create a simple slide navigator. I can always continue to also offer PDF, Quicktime, and Flash formats.
