I may not be posting too much since I started a new job recently. I spend a LOT of time in traffic, so that cuts down on a lot of other stuff.
I am helping a local developer upgrade his Rails app.
I am also going through the book Seven Databases In Seven Weeks. I doubt I will go through all seven. It might take longer than seven weeks. I am taking notes and putting them on github.
I got through Postgres. Now I am on HBase. A couple of weeks ago I went to the Austin JUG, and the talk was on Big Data and Hadoop. They did not get to the Hadoop demo. There are a lot of projects and APIs associated with Hadoop. I hope the 7 Dbs in 7 Wks book will take care of that. Hadoop out of the box looks pretty intimidating.
