It’s always greener…
It’s with great emotion that I am to leave Jellyfish, where I currently work, and head over to join the team at Affiliate Window. My time at Jellyfish has been interesting. I leave more tooled up than when I arrived but also weathered and with a firm understanding of how small businesses become big businesses and the mistakes they make on the journey…
Well, I certainly don’t want to burn bridges and, to be honest, I don’t have any dirty laundry to air. The people I have worked with at Jellyfish have been an inspiration to me – I’ve learnt a hell of a lot from my colleagues and they’ve since become friends; good friends whom I shall endeavour to keep in touch with. I’ve picked up a lot of new skills along the way and even worked on one or two interesting projects (the last project being the most interesting, but also commercial sensitive, so it’ll have to wait for launch until I say anything!).
So. Thanks Jellyfish – may your tendrils be wobbly and your body see-through and your life-span infinite. It’s been a blast. Perhaps we’ll waltz again some day (if you need a dev-manager, or a product owner 
).
Writing Effective User Stories
This months PHPLondon took on a different format. Usually there is one speaker who gives a talk, but this month, the new President and the committee decided they’d take a different approach, in the form of lightening talks. Whoever wanted to could stand up and talk for five minutes on any subject relevant to PHP or development.
I offered to do a talk on Writing Effective User Stories (which I’d give before at my place of work) and I thoroughly enjoyed it, I just hope that the audience did too! As well as the video above, you can view the slides by clicking here and the handout (which I didn’t hand out!) here. Or you can see them both after the jump. Contact me if you have any questions or would like to know more.
