This talk is about the wonderful Monad pattern; what it is, where to find it, and how to use it.

These few introductory slides are for a workshop that I ran at PHPCon Poland 2024. Most of the workshop took place in a code editor, so check out the YouTube recording of it for more details.

This talk covers the architecture of a multi-tenant sports media website, and the APIs that power their mobile apps.

Minecraft is played by more than 165 million people. Imagine if just a fraction of those people could learn electrical engineering or computer programming, without even meaning to. This talk is all about how Minecraft expresses the fundamentals of electronics and programming, and how we can encourage the next generation of electrical engineers and computer programmers in a fun environment.

This talk is a hands-on introduction to hobby electronics, and how you can control them using JS. I'll show you Lego Technic sets which you can manipulate with an Arduino and a bit of creativity. I'll even let you control a robot or two, using a web browser.
