It’s always nice to start a blog with some really juicy content. Luckily I recently put together a 40 minute talk on web hooks and put all the slides on SlideShare, which I can share here. The talk itself is mostly in the notes, but the slides play a big part. At some point I should have a video recording to put up here. Until then, enjoy my slides since I put a lot of work into them! I also wrote an introduction to the talk on my blog.

Very good slide show! I have tried to explain it to a coworker and did not manage it right. Now I think I don’t have to do it anymore. Thanks a lot!

Anyway, here are the slides I unshifted upon the deck I usually show. [...]
