You got me interested. Any updates on this?
It's all go.
I am checking out venues in Melbourne this week (www.factory59.com.au is
looking good), aiming for early Feb in Melbourne, then Sydney after
that. Moving house this weekend though with no internet, so may throw a
spanner in the works :S

+1 for transactional vs reporting design and performance
and anything to do with advance database modeling. I'm from Sydney.

I am liking the sound of this.
1. Thumbs up to the topics. Particularly interested in transactional
vs reporting design and performance.
2. Format sounds good; a full day could be good too. I prefer weekdays.
3. I am sure you will be good mate!
4. Yes, I can bring my old beat-up MBP. Hopefully I get a new one for
Christmas.. might need to forward this to my wife!

Hello!
There was bit of twitter interest in this today so here I am fleshing
out the concept.
I'm thinking about running some professional training on database
related topics, specifically aimed towards rails programmers. I don't
see these issues talked about much in the ecosphere, probably because
they can be hard, which is a shame because it's really important stuff
for any commercial site.
Aside from my personal interest in the topic, I've dealt (and continue
to deal!) with this topic a lot in industry, and feel it's stuff you
really need to know as a professional developer.
In my experience the hairier topics can be difficult to grasp just from
a lecture, so the format would be a combination of theory matched with
practical rails examples, run over a couple of nights early in 2010,
with notes and exercises and all that jazz to take home. I'd charge a
couple hundred bucks, money back if you don't find it valuable.
Of course this is only worthwhile if people are interested in it. If
that's you, please reply (privately if you wish) and I'll keep you in
the loop. A few questions, if you'd be so kind:
1) How do these topics sound? Anything missing? Anything too mundane?
Data Integrity
- DB level constraints
- Key design
- App level concerns
Concurrency
- Locking
- optimistic vs pessimistic
- Isolation levels
DB Design
- Transactional vs Reporting DBs
- Performance considerations
- Data warehouses
- How to evaluate tech? MySQL? Postgresql? Oracle? CouchDB? Cognos?
2) Format OK? Would a weekend be better?
3) Would you prefer a different presenter? Am I too boring?
4) Could you bring your own laptop?
5) What city are you in?
