The Command Line – Beyond the Basics

The command line can feel daunting – especially when trying to learn a new topic. I’ll help you move beyond the basics. You’ll learn some theory, with an emphasis on practical skills. This is a talk that will increase your understanding of the CLI, and help you level up. Topics like bash functions, command substitution, regular expressions and shell configuration, wont feel as mysterious.

As a seasoned software developer, I bring a breadth and depth of knowledge and skills for creating database-driven PHP web applications. I’ve spent much of my career on the backend—from customizing CMSs like Drupal and WordPress, to using frameworks like Laravel to develop Web Applications. Previously, I organized the Pacific Northwest PHP Conference and the Seattle PHP User Group. I've spoken at multiple WordCamps, and more recently at PHP Tek. I pride myself on my ability to communicate technical ideas to non-technical people. I’m passionate about technology and creating software, and helping others do the same.
