Great topic, Edward!

I work at a digital library which has decades of experience with bibliographic data in non-relational databases, but I believe we need to learn more about how others solve the same problems.

Re: [CODE4LIB] What do you wish you had time to learn?
To those who are interested in transitioning to git from Subversion, I can recommend the excellent git-svn tool (http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/git-svn.html) that comes with git. You can clone (git for checkout) directly from an svn repository: git svn clone http://svn.example.com/project/trunk Version control locally using git, merging any changes from the svn repository: git svn rebase and when you're done, commit the final changes back to the svn repository: git svn dcommit This lets you learn how to work with git locally (branching and merging like gangbusters and making frequent commits) without fear of messing up your svn repository in any conversion process. It's a very smooth intro to the DVCS way of working. One caveat--git-svn only works well when svn development is done entirely on trunk instead of in branches. Since the main reason people switch to git is for easier branching, this is usually not a problem. And thanks for the recipes. It looks like the key to baconless brussel sprouts is to a) roast them, or b) make them sweet like candy. Thanks, Ben

Time travel and travel forward to a time where I won't need to learn anything. :-) I should probably be spending more than an hour on C every morning. I have avoided XSLT for a long time and can't anymore. Lua genuinely looked like good fun but not enough time in the day. Replace XSLT above with Javascript ./fxk -- BOO! We changed Coke again!

Re: [CODE4LIB] What do you wish you had time to learn?
I used Hadoop a little bit in my old job and found that it was a very handy tool to have. I used it to test a change to some logic that tried to extract item quantities from titles in a very large product catalog. It's not really a classic map/reduce application, but I think it would have been much more work to run the tests if we didn't already have the data on the Hadoop file system. We also used it a bit to cluster similar items. I've subsequently picked up the Hadoop in Action book and read through some of it. It seems like a pretty good introduction for people wanting to learn about Map/Reduce.
