My thoughts on Architecture and Software Development with MySQL

Yesterday I was able to present to the Portland MySQL Users Group two presentations that are important foundations for effective development with MySQL.

With 26 years of architectural experience in RDBMS and 16 years of MySQL knowledge, my extensive exposure to large and small companies from consulting has lead to these presentations containing common obstacles I have seen an help organization with. All that can be easily avoided. The benefits of improved development and better processes leads to better quality software, better performance and a lower cost of ownership, that is saving companies money.

Thanks to Emily and Daniel for organizing and New Relic for hosting.
