I had the pleasure to speak at Web Expo Guildford on Friday 12th October, and it was received very well despite my nervousness (it was my first speaking engagement at a web conference) and the fact that I forgot about half the points I was going to make. So I figured I’d write a quick overview of my talk and include some of the slides as well. You can see the video of my talk on vimeo.
