India Shock Tour May 2008 ends on a high note
Greeting from India!
India Shock Tour which started on May 27 has been successfully ended. The MySQL team of David Axmark, Brian Aker, Iko Rein, and myself visited Pune, Hyderabad, and Chennai along with Manish Malhotra and Naveen Asrani from Sun Microsystems India. The tour attracted 750 MySQL developers in total.
In the week of Feb 18, just before MySQL was merged with Sun, we were in India holding India Road Show stopping 4 cities. This time, more than double number of people joined and I found MySQL was definitely getting more attention and popularity in India. There was a hailstorm of questions during MySQL performance turning session which was one of the topics added by the requests from many attendees of the Feb tour.
One of the things I heard from the attendees repeatedly during the tour was “we can’t find materials to learn more about MySQL”. Well, we do have various resources online. For example,
there are lots of whitepapers available at:
http://www.mysql.com/why-mysql/white-papers/
I hope you find those online resources useful and enjoy reading them until the next tour. Thank you who came to the seminar very much.
