Mario & Pat

[David Goodlad]

Thanks to Mario & Pat for organising such a great meetup; I had a great time this month! Also thanks to everyone who attended my talk, I hope it was useful.

I posted a few photos on Flickr: http://www.flickr.com/photos/dgoodlad/sets/72157634358047440/

I have put my talk slides online at s3.dg.gl/slides/roromel-2013-06-file_uploads_in_three_parts.pdf

If you’re interested in the demo that I mentioned, it’s live at http://s3-photo-upload-demo.throwawayapp.com/ with source code available on github https://github.com/dgoodlad/s3-photo-upload-demo .

Cheers

Dave
