I had the opportunity to share an introduction to stress testing at WordCamp Vancouver this year! Thanks to the organizers and everyone involved for a great event.

Mizu on Christmas
I took this video of Mizu falling asleep on wrapping paper while the fireplace was crackling on Christmas day and thought you might enjoy it.

I gave a satirical talk called “Connect the Dots” at WordCamp Ventura about the WordPress community and its connections, whose slides you can see below.
Yes, it’s silly. Yes, I hope you enjoy it. I’ll post a link to the video when it lands on WordPress.tv.

Heartbeat + WP REST API at WordCamp NYC
Thanks to the organizers, volunteers, and everyone attending WordCamp NYC for a great event!
Below, you can find the slides and code for my talk on the Heartbeat API for WordPress.

In this presentation, I also included a sample for a custom WordPress API endpoint (hat/tip Ryan McCue) for causing the WordPress admin to honk via a GET request (which is decidedly unRESTful, but equal to the way the Tesla Model S API works). I then provided this URL to the audience prior to discussing the code for much hilarity.
So @GetSource made a custom endpoint with the Heartbeat API to honk a horn in his presentation at #wcnyc: http://t.co/llFoO3e3uR

The code’s after the break. But think twice about deploying it on a production server, since it allows others to annoy you with unauthenticated requests. The JSON REST API plugin is required prior to the JSON API’s introduction in WordPress Core itself.
You can download the slides in PDF, and see the slides inline from Speaker Deck below.
Heartbeat API Jumpstart – WordCamp Seattle 2014
I had the pleasure of being invited to give a quick introduction to the Heartbeat API at WordCamp Seattle!
Thanks to the organizers for the opportunity, and everyone who showed up to listen to me speak very rapidly about polling awesomeness.
As of WordPress 3.9, the heartbeat api is no longer experimental. Use it in your plugins, but only in the admin. – @GetSource #wcsea

This is just an introduction — For a deeper dive, check out this talk that was done in a longer form, and has example code attached.
