Tutorial and session at MySQL Users Conference 2008
Well, it’s that time of the year once more. The time when someone starts planning for the Users Conference, having received an acceptance notice of a session proposal. This year it came earlier than usual, because the CfP was started one month earlier, and thus we have a list of tutorials ready before Christmas.
So, let me do some advertising.
I am going to co-present a full day tutorial with Jan Kneschke. MySQL Proxy, the complete tutorial which will cover all about MySQL Proxy, and it will guide users to the creation of Lua scripts. When I proposed it, Jay asked me and Jan if we have enough material to cover 6 hours. After having been in three presentations on this subject, I’d rather ask myself if I can manage to cover all we know (and all that Jan’s volcanic production is adding) in just 6 hours. We will manage, I guess. I have a large collection of Proxy applications, and Jan has quite a few in his drawers. This tutorial will not leave people dissatisfied, I am sure.
Then I am going to have my fun session on the Proxy. The Tutorial will be serious business, and I and Jan will work hard to deliver educational content. Then, toward the end of the conference, I will have this MySQL Proxy Wizardry where I will show how you can do wildly unexpected things with a database server + proxy combination.
