MySQL University is a set of public lessons held by experienced MySQL developers, to spread technical knowledge inside and outside the company. It's like a conference session, except for the physical presence. There is no traveling involved. No hotel rooms to book and restaurant bills to pay. The lessons are given over the internet, using an audio stream for the exposition, and IRC for questions from the audience. If you want to attend, check the instructions for attendees and mark your calendars: |

Since almost a year now, we host a weekly training session for our engineers on Thursday (14:00 UTC winter time), coined the "MySQL University". While it's primary purpose is to share and distribute knowledge about a wide variety of topics relevant to our own developers, many of the sessions are of general interest for developers on other projects as well.
Therefore we hold this sessions in the public and everybody is welcome to attend! You can listen to the presentation via an OGG Audio stream, questions can be posted via IRC on the #mysql-university channel on freenode.net. The audio file and IRC log will be saved, so you can also listen to past university sessions at a later point in time again.

A company has come up with a vendor-neutral database certification exam. Some are wondering how much use this will be, as it doesn’t go into vendor-specificities. Now, the specifics of how a query optimizer handles queries, how backups, restores and security are done and with MySQL specifically, how different storage engines act are [...]

On December 13 (it means today for most of the readers) at 15:00
CET (14:00 UTC), the MySQL University lecture on Lua will start.
The topic is quite extensive. Even though the lecture is limited
to using Lua with MySQL Proxy, yet there is a lot of ground to
cover. During a rehearsal session last week, I realized that the
whole matter would need much more than one hour if I describe in
detail all the introductory material that I originally
planned.
So I will reduce the time dedicated to MySQL Proxy architecture,
which you can look on your own by reading Getting started with MySQL Proxy. I will cover
this matter only briefly during the lecture, so if you know some
background, you’ll enjoy the lecture even more.
If you are new to MySQL University lessons, …

Just came off today's MySQL University session about How to Build MySQL on Windows - Reggie did a great
job on explaining how to build the MySQL Server from Source on
Windows using the Microsoft development toolchain and some
additional required tools. I am glad to hear that we're making
progress on making it easier for Windows developers to work with
the source code and Reggie and the other members of our Windows
Task Force (what a nice acronym this one makes!) have plenty of
other ideas for improving that experience.
If you missed his session, the audio file and IRC log will be
published from the MySQL University pages shortly.
And in case you haven't heard about MySQL University before,
