Cool stuff for Academic Developers

MySQL University Resources

Tuesday Jan 06, 2009

We all know that MySQL is the world's most popular open source database. So it should come as no surprise that MySQL is huge in academia, both for back-end databases such as Ladok, a national system used for the documentation of academic information in Sweden, and as a platform for instruction in the classroom.

Here are a couple of MySQL resources that will be of interest to professors, university DBAs and students:

MySQL University is an ongoing series of free educational online webinars offered each Thursday. An individual Wiki page is created for each session containing links to the presentation slides, the presentation recording (slides and audio), and the chat transcript.

MySQL Conference & Expo 2009, is scheduled for  April 20-23, 2009 at the Santa Clara Convention Center. There are special discounts available for professors (50%) and full-time students (65%).

Change (Y) Our World.
