+Last week, I was very happy to speak again at PHP Thames Valley in Reading -  [a year since I last
+visited][0] to speak about Sculpin.
+
+This time, I was giving a presentation about [Nix for PHP Developers][1].
+
+It was the first time I've given this presentation, and the first time for a while that I've written
+a new talk.
+
+I think of this as a Nix talk with PHP examples, so it's one that I can evolve over time and can
+give at tech-agnostic or full stack events, or create different versions with specific examples -
+similar to [my Tailwind CSS talk][2] that I've adapted with different examples for different
+audiences.
+
+Thanks again to the PHP Thames Valley organisers for having me back, and I'll forward to maybe
+returning to speak at a meetup in Reading or Oxford in 2026.
