Persistence Smoothie: Blending SQL and NoSQL in Rails Applications
Participants will learn about a number of available NoSQL persistence engines (including document-oriented databases such as CouchDB and MongoDB, key-value stores like Tokyo Cabinet and Redis, and more) and when they might be appropriate for a Rails application. In addition, attendees will learn good practice techniques for blending these systems together with traditional SQL for a “best of all worlds” implementation with real-world examples..

Also – maybe you’ll get more mileage out of the demo project: github.com/flipsasser/Persi...
John – thanks for the feedback! I’m sorry you were disappointed. I’d love to give the presentation again, but as you point out, it needs some rehearsing.
It took 1.5 days to finally stumble across a disappointing session. Sadly, it was this one because the session had promise to be stellar. More sadly is the fact that Flip appears to be a very good presenter. It is clear to me that this session was not rehearsed. In a 50 min. time frame, you are limited to the degree you can live code. For sure, you cannot download/install code from repos. I hope Flip works on the presentation is afforded the opportunity to give it again as it has the potential to bring a lot of value to the development community,.
The content that was prepared was presented well. When Flip ran out of content from mis-estimating his presentation he did an awesome job of trying to live-code (more daring than I would have been) and added a ton of humor that easily off-set the extra time remaining.
Awesome job on keeping your circumstances in mind, admitting to the situation, not mumbling or back-stepping, and keeping us entertained Flip!
