MichiPUG this week: ZODB
June 30th, 2008
The Michigan Python Users Group (MichiPUG) monthly meeting is coming up this Thursday, July 3rd at 7PM. This month, I’ll be speaking about the Zope Object Database (ZODB). Unlike last month’s meeting, where I led us in a random experiment with Google App Engine, I actually have some experience with the ZODB.
I’ll be demonstrating use of the ZODB and will talk about concurrency, replication, packing, etc. If you’re not familiar with the ZODB (and you’re somewhere near Ann Arbor!), this is a useful topic to get to know, because the ZODB is great for a variety of situations.
Update (May 13, 2009): You can see my examples from this talk.
Hey, nice that you’re doing this, Kevin! I think the ZODB could use some more exposure.
Thanks, Martijn! I agree that the ZODB needs more exposure. It’s so darn easy to use, there’s no reason to reach for a more cumbersome RDBMS in many instances.
Kevin, I read in a mail list somewhere that you were considering a screencast of your ZODB presentation. Did that ever happen? Just curious as I am intrigued…
No, I don’t believe I ever did record a screencast of this. I *did* do the presentation again at a conference, but I don’t think that was recorded.
I hate to bug you about a presentation you made a year ago, but do the slides still exist? I’ve seen some older documentation on the Zope site and IBM, but I’m not always the sharpest spoon in the toolbox. Any URL pointers would be greatly appreciated.
I don’t think the slides would be useful, but I’ve attached (to the original post above) the examples that I used which you may find useful.
Many thanks Kevin.
