We're opening up registration for our new training courses today.  In short: we are moving from two days to a new four-day format.  The new additions are created by:

• Splitting our current InnoDB day in half. We now have one day for DBAs, and one day just on InnoDB topics.
• A new Operations Day - covering how to maintain MySQL in production.

Our developer course has also undergone revision, and we now have more query tuning examples, and a new instrumentation chapter.

What is operations training?

I said in my last post, that we're interested in speaking at MySQL meetups, and I'm happy to say that the Los Angeles MySQL Meetup has taken us up on the offer.

On November 18th, I'll be giving an introductory talk on InnoDB/XtraDB Performance Optimization.  I will be the second speaker, with Carl Gelbart first speaking on Infobright.

What brings me to LA?  On the same day (18th Nov) I'll be teaching a one day class on Performance Optimization for MySQL with InnoDB and XtraDB.  If you haven't signed up yet - spaces are still available.

I wanted to provide an update on two things:

• Firstly, we have opened registration for InnoDB/XtraDB training in Los Angeles (Nov 18th).
• The second is that while I am in New York City for training (Oct 29th), I'll be giving a (free) talk at the MySQL Meetup group there (Oct 28th).

We love to speak at Meetup groups.  If you are an organizer feel free to let us know you are interested.  There's no guarantee that we can get schedules to align - but there are a number of Percona consultants that travel regularly.
