MySQL University session on November 12: Gearman for MySQL

Gearman for MySQL
http://forge.mysql.com/wiki/Gearman_for_MySQL

This Thursday (November 12th, 14:00 UTC), Giuseppe Maxia of the MySQL
Community Team will present Gearman for MySQL. Gearman is a
client/server infrastructure for generic tasks, usable on distributed
servers, with little worry about the details. No matter what language
you speak, Gearman can meet your needs in C, PHP, Perl, Ruby, shell
scripting, and several more. Gearman can also work in conjunction with
MySQL, either using UDFs, or simply through its basic architecture.
Giuseppe's talk will show examples of how to use Gearman for remote
installation and how to call a complicate data warehousing function
written in Perl from any other language, with no knowledge of Perl at all.

For MySQL University sessions, point your browser to this page:

http://webmeeting.dimdim.com/portal/JoinForm.action?confKey= mysqluniversity

You need a browser with a working Flash plugin. You may register for a
Dimdim account, but you don't have to. (Dimdim is the conferencing
system we're using for MySQL University sessions. It provides integrated
voice streaming, chat, whiteboard, session recording, and more.)

MySQL University is a free educational online program for
engineers/developers. MySQL University sessions are open to anyone, not
just Sun employees. Sessions are recorded (slides and audio), so if you
can't attend the live session you can look at the recording anytime
after the session.

Here's the schedule for the upcoming weeks:

* November 19: memcached Functions for MySQL (UDFs) (Patrick Galbraith)
* November 26: The Spider Storage Engine (Giuseppe Maxia)
* December 3: Practical Full-Text Search in MySQL (Bill Karwin)

The schedule is not engraved in stone at this point. Please visit
http://forge.mysql.com/wiki/MySQL_University#Upcoming_Sessio ns for the
up-to-date list. On that page, you can also find the starting time for
many time zones.

Cheers,

Stefan
