PresentationsI am a frequent speaker at conferences, corporations, and user's groups. While I most frequently speak about how XML is used with databases, I have also spoken about a range of other topics, including XML basics, XML namespaces, and using XML for technical writing. My presentations are generally designed for programmers, but can often be modified for non-technical audiences. TopicsI currently have presentations about the following topics. If your topic is not listed, please ask.
- XML and Databases
- SQL/XML
- XQuery and XPath
- Mapping DTDs to Databases
- Native XML Databases
- Introduction to XML
- Simple API for XML (SAX)
- Document Object Model (DOM)
- XML Namespaces
- XML and Technical Writing
Presentations range from one hour to two days and are designed to give participants a technical introduction to the topic. Many can be modified to meet the needs of less technical audiences. All presentations are in English. LocationsI live near Silicon Valley and am therefore available to give presentations throughout the San Francisco Bay Area. I am happy to travel to other areas, such as the East Coast or Europe, when it is worth my time. So while I won't fly to the East Coast for a one hour presentation or to Europe for a day, I might head east for a day or to Europe for a week. PricesPrices depend on what you want, the degree to which I need to customize existing presentations, the number of people attending, and your ability to pay (which roughly translates to the size/income of your company). If you are located outside the Silicon Valley, prices also include my travel expenses: flight, hotel, and rental car (if any). For an exact quote, send me email or call me at +1 (831) 335-4182 and describe the kind of presentation you want. Past presentationsBelow is a partial list of places I have spoken. Not included are corporate speaking engagements, as these are generally covered by non-disclosure agreements.
