Intro to Amazon RDS
In our last session, we discussed using MySQL in virtual environments, including in the 'cloud'. This month, we will delve a little deeper and introduce the Amazon Relational Database Service (Amazon RDS). Amazon RDS is a web service that makes it easy to set up, operate, and scale a relational database in the cloud. It provides cost-efficient and resizable capacity while managing time-consuming database administration tasks, freeing you up to focus on your applications and business.
Amazon RDS gives you access to the full capabilities of a familiar MySQL database. This means the code, applications, and tools you already use today with your existing MySQL databases work seamlessly with Amazon RDS. Amazon RDS automatically patches the database software and backs up your database, storing the backups for a user-defined retention period. You also benefit from the flexibility of being able to scale the compute resources or storage capacity associated with your relational database instance via a single API call. As with all Amazon Web Services, there are no up-front investments required, and you pay only for the resources you use.
In addition to the technology review, I'll provide some demos and explore source code.
Hope to see you there.

Cucumber with Leon Gersing
8km away in Cleveland
It's time! The next CleRB meeting will be on Monday, November 30th. We'll be continuing from where we left off last time. Didn't come last time? Don't remember where we were? That's fine, stop by the Installfest table to get Ruby & Rails set up on your machine! We have a Rails app setup, but it doesn't do anything. This month we'll be starting our first features test-first using the automated acceptance testing tool Cucumber.

November/December Black Swan meetup
109km away in Pittsburgh
As usual, the holidays throw a monkey wrench into when to have the meetup. The 21s is very soon, and the 29th is still part of Thanksgiving weekend. So I am thinking December 6 at 10:30 am. The book is "The Future of the Internet and How to Stop it" by Jonathan Zittrain. This is now out in paperback. The title is something of a misnomer--it is more about the future character of the internet as open but vulnerable versus closed but secure.

Pittsburgh PHP Developers Group December Meetup
111km away in Squirrel Hill
The September meeting's topic will be working with other developer's code; including working with open source projects and picking up the pieces where another developer left off. No one particularly enjoys this, but it is often necessary. Share your ideas about how to deal with both good code and bad code! Come meet other Pittsburgh-based PHP developers! We intend to offer presentations and discussion of interest to both beginners and more advanced developers.
