John Powell from eMapSite stopped by at the Whisper Suite in
MySQL
Users Conference earlier today to talk about his GlassFish issue. The
possible workaround was suggested and then the discussion became
interesting on how GlassFish is used for offshore monitoring of
windfarms and process weather forecasting data. Hear all about it
and watch a flashy demo of their product in this video:
NetBeans,
GlassFish, and MySQL is their development stack with a "very
positive experience"!
Stay tuned for the stories entry.

Today’s Great Open Cloud Shootout was great fun — at least for me! I had the pleasure to tease these distinguished gentlemen with cloudy questions:
- Lew Tucker, Cloud CTO, Sun Microsystems
- Monty Taylor, MySQL Drizzle Geek, Sun Microsystems
- Jeremy Zawodny, MySQL hacker, craigslist
- Chander Kant, CEO, Zmanda
- Thorsten von Eicken, CTO, RightScale
- Prashant Malik, Cassandra Dude, Facebook
- Mike Culver, Evangelist, Amazon Web Services
I tried to provoke the panelists with questions around some areas I had thought out:
- So, what is a cloud anyway?
- Who is the cloud for?
- Why use the cloud?
- Cloud adoption barriers
- Are there cloud standards?
- Cloud Business Opportunities
- Cloud Competition
- Databases & Clouds …

I caught up with Marc Delisle (we have a relatively old interview with him on the MySQL DevZone) recently, and got him to give us an introduction to phpMyAdmin, the several books he’s written, and how the project gets new features from the Google Summer of Code. What’s really impressive? They continue winning awards (Marc won one from MySQL in 2009 as well!), and have a user base of nearly 18.5 million (this is downloads — not just users, considering how common it is in shared hosting environments). Watch the video for more.

I caught up with Zach Skyles Owens, a PHP Evangelist at Microsoft. If you missed the embed, watch the video. I have some sparse notes below.
I learned some new things:
- Microsoft spends time working with the PHP community
- They are porting applications to work with an SQL Server backend
- They are ensuring that the language should “just work”, with the IIS and SQL Server stack. This is quite different from the usual AMP (Apache = server, MySQL = database, PHP = language) stack that we’re quite accustomed to.
- There is a Microsoft Web Platform, and there’s a Web Application Gallery, that brings in …

I arrived at the MySQL Users Conference just in time for the
The Great Open Cloud Shootout.
Kaj Arno was asking questions to the invited panelists shown in
the picture above. Here is a partial discussion:
What is cloud ?
| Thorsten | Fully automatbale computing infrastructure, changes the way production scale deployments operate, saves time/cost, increases reliability |
| Chander | Elasiticity is an important aspect, Can "shoot for the moon without shooting foot", accessing a pool of resources which is infinite from an individual/organization … |

I presented on Creating Quick and Powerful Web Applications with
MySQL, GlassFish, and NetBeans. The key messages conveyed
during the preso are:
- GlassFish is an open source community and delivers production-quality Java EE compliant Application Server.
- GlassFish v2 is the Java EE 5 Reference Implementation and GlassFish v3 for Java EE 6. Read complete difference here.
- Java Persistence API makes it really easy to create database-backed Web applications. It even creates MySQL-specific queries, when possible.
- The web-based administration …
