Follow up from Part 1.
Attended "What Developers should care about MySQL ?" by Colin and
"Groovy and Grails" by Chuk-munn Lee.
I enjoyed both the talks for different reasons. Colin's talk
explained the pluggable storage engine architecture that is
unique to MySQL (pronounced my-ess-kew-ell, not my-sequel). It
was interesting to know that the different storage engines can be
picked a la carte based upon the requirements. The performance
comparison for INSERTs was 5x between MyISAM, InnoDB and Archive
storage engines. But then InnoDB provide transactions and other
goodies. Multiple performance tuning tips such …

developers, an outstanding audience!!!
The kick off had a good local flare when the Gods of
Longevity, Fortune, and Prosperity (Fu Lu Shou) showed up to
start the event ;-) The build up to their appearance was really
exciting as evident from the video below:
This particular event will also be recorded in Singapore Book of Records for the largest numbers
of Sun developers playing a rattle together :) Here are some

Microsoft released Windows 7 Beta 1 - the next major version of
Vista, download here. There are tons of improvments mostly centered around making
the content easily & intuitively accessible. But hey, Mac OSX
already serves that purpose well for quite some time ;-)
But I still want to make sure that our Rails stack (NetBeans,
GlassFish, and MySQL) work fine on it. And it very well do,
without any issues, as you'll realize at the end of this blog
:)
Lets first get started with installing Windows 7 Beta as a
Virtual Box
image. Few points to note here:
- Only IE can be used for downloading …

GlassFish
Post-condition: Everyone is looking forward to put their hands
on, how great it is! dear all, we are approaching labs where …
