Talks, Topics and Workshops
Besides speaking at events, I develop and host workshops or give hands-on training at conferences and in-house for the teams in your company.
Workshop topics include "Responsive Web Design" and "Web Performance Optimisation", covering front end development best practices, techniques, workflows and strategies. Depending on the level of details and topics covered, workshops can be run as a full or half day session. The workshop content can be adjusted to suit your event, your participants' level of expertise and event schedule. My workshops usually run for the duration of a half or full day.
If you are interested in a workshop or training, please contact me for further details. We can then plan and tailor a workshop that will best suit your requirements and provide the audience with the best value and most useful take-aways possible.
