MySQL NY Meetup Presentation

Tonight I spoke at the NY MySQL Meetup . The topic “Practical Performance Tips & Tricks” was a full packed 1 hour session, with 4 x 15 minute sections on Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced and MySQL Proxy. The goal to hopefully cover content for different level of attendees. This meeting followed up the large turnout from last month’s meeting with at least 35 people. Thanks again to Logicworks for sponsoring the night and providing the beer and food, especially to adjust for the late arriving presenter.

My Slides are download able in PDF format here .

Some additional links that were discussed during the meeting for reference included.

Details of my previous MySQL presentations can be found in my Articles section.
