Publications

Since I enjoy talking and exchanging ideas with people, I try to speak at software conferences, workshops and meetups. Occasionally I’ll do a tutorial, make an appearance in the media or even in some rare occasions publish articles not on this site. This is my official recording keeping of those publications.
