NWRUG February 2009 – Nanite talk
Posted on February 20th, 2009 3 commentsFor the first time in quite a while we had a talk at NWRUG, it seemed to go well and the free Pizzas and Beer provided by Engine Yard were very popular. About 12 people turned up. I was the only speaker and did a 45 minute talk on Nanite with a brief introduction to cloud-computing as that’s the environment I see Nanite being most useful.
Thanks to everyone who turned up and Engine Yard for the sponsorship. I promised a blog post with links to some of the resources from the talk, and here it is!
Useful links from the talk
Nanite (of course)
Kestrel (a starling replacement)
Warren (A wrapper around AMQP from brightbox)
As I mentioned in the talk you can probably get away with using third-party APIs and calling it ‘cloud-computing’, this set of slides is really interesting:
Web Hooks and the Programmable World of Tomorrow
Lastly the slides on SlideShare, though they don’t make as much sense as they do with the talk & my notes.
*update*
Pastie: control rabbitMQ using Nanite, controlling god using Nanite.
Next Month
More talks! Asa Calow has agreed to do a talk on Solr and I rather foolishley agreed to do another talk on Sphinx.
