Open Query training at Drupal DownUnder 2012

Декабрь 7th, 2011

DrupalDownUnder 2012 will be held in Melbourne Australia 13-15 January. A great event, I’ve been to several of its predecessors. People there don’t care an awful lot for databases, but they do realise that sometimes it’s important to either learn more about it or talk to someone specialised in that field. And when discussing general infrastructure, resilience is quite relevant. Clients want a site to remain up, but keep costs low.

I will teach pre-conference training sessions on the Friday at DDU:

The material is made specific to Drupal developers and users. The query design skills, for instance, will help you with module development and designing Drupal Views. The two half-days can also be booked as a MySQL Training Pack for $395.

On Saturday afternoon in the main conference, I have a session Scaling out your Drupal and Database Infrastructure, Affordably covering the topics of resilience, ease of maintenance, and scaling.

I’m honoured to have been selected to do these sessions, I know there were plenty of submissions from excellent speakers. As with all Drupal conferences, attendees also vote on which submissions they would like to see.

After DDU I’m travelling on to Ballarat for LinuxConfAU 2012, where I’m not speaking in the main program this year, but will have sessions in the “High Availability and Storage” and “Business of Open Source” miniconfs. I’ll do another post on the former – the latter is not related to Open Query.

MySQL training for Developers finally here

Декабрь 5th, 2011

 

It is finally ready! The training course at least I have been waiting for since we started the company: A MySQL training course for Developers.  And this is not just another standard MySQL for Developers training course. Based on our previous experiences at MySQL AB, we wanted to create something different, with a better fit. We wanted to aim this MySQL training course more at developers who already have experience using SQL and MySQL instead of just focusing on teaching SQL basics. Sure, we still cover the SQL basics, however it's done quickly.  We focus more on the MySQL exceptions and how to optimize SQL on MySQL.  As a result, entire chapters are dedicated to query optimization in MySQL, choosing storage engines, replication and other things often related more to a DBA role, that we deemed to be important for an advanced MySQL developer. We have also added a large section focusing on solving complex problems with SQL, where we cover things like trees and hierarchies, simulating ranks, calculating the median value etc.
 
So if any of this sounds interesting that a look at the full course description: http://www.skysql.com/services/training/courses/developing-applications-mysql-database and sign up to a course near you!
