Riak Presented at NYC NoSQL – slides, text & video
Leave a CommentI had the pleasure of attending the NYC NoSQL Fall ’09 Meetup/Mini-Conference last Monday. Great talks, all around. I thought it was a good mix of use-case analysis and technology introduction.
In addition to enjoying everyone else’s presentations, I also presented Riak. It was a quick 12-minute talk, followed by 2.5 minutes of questions, but the response I got was great. People really dug in and had interesting observations and questions to discuss afterward.
If you weren’t able to make the event, Brendan has posted video of my talk. I have also posted an HTML slides-and-text version of my talk, if you prefer reading over watching and listening.
Dev House Boston
If you’re in the Boston area, and interested in Erlang/ErlyWeb, and free next Sunday … I’ll probably be hanging around Dev House Boston.
It’s my first trip to one of these hackathons. I’ve never been to Foo/BarCamp, or any of the others. So, we’ll see how it goes.
My best idea for a project so far is an Emacs mode for ErlTL. But, mainly I’d be interested in helping people come up to speed with Erlang/Erlyweb and/or Facebook app development. I think ErlyWeb’s a great platform for web development, and I’d like to see more people put it through its paces.
I’m also familiar with plenty of other languages/systems, so I feel pretty confident that I’ll be able to hack on whatever comes up.
