Speaking at TechMids 2025

Last week, I recorded an episode of the PHP Alive and Kicking podcast with Chris and Mike from PHP Architect, who mentioned they were going to attend the TechMids conference in Birmingham - so, I decided to go too.

I'd missed the call for papers but I emailed and offered to be a backup speaker if they needed one, as I'd be attending and Im always happy to give presentations.

Someone did drop out, so I offered to give my Nix for PHP Developers (and everyone else) talk.

Although it mentions PHP, the concepts and examples are transferable to different programming languages, as well as server administration and homelabbing - making it a good presentation for TechMids, which is a full stack conference.

There was a good attendance for my presentation, especially being a late addition to the schedule, and it was great to see other presentations and meet new people at the conference.

My slides are available, as are my personal Nix configuration and perpetually published/unpublished Nix for PHP Developers book.
