Hi John, I wouldn't worry too much about making anything shiny -- 10-15 minutes total. I'm not planning on doing any slides for the Redis stuff. I'll probably just:
- do a 5 minute demo of a toy parallel app that uses Redis as a queue and gets a few separate python processes going - walkthrough of the code - quick summary of uses cases I think it's a good/bad fit for - Q&A I personally get a lot of value out of just seeing what it's like to write something with these technologies, regardless of how trivial. What do you think? -- James On Sat, Jul 9, 2011 at 12:28 PM, John DeRosa <[email protected]> wrote: > I've used Celery extensively for the past year.
