Peter Cooper: "Redis 101: A Whirlwind Tour of A Next Big Thing in NoSQL Data Storage"

About Peter
--------------

Peter Cooper is a Lincolnshire-based tech publisher and developer specialising in the Ruby and UNIX-related development fields. He's the author of Beginning Ruby, published by Apress, and is just beginning work on his second book about Redis - the topic of his scheduled talk.

Peter is editor of Ruby Inside, the most popular blog in the Ruby space, and is currently launching coder.io, a developer news startup. Peter is also an avid Twitter user and you can find him @peterc

The Talk
----------

Redis is a memory-focused, network-accessible key-value storage system that focuses on being extremely fast and simple to use. First launched only a year ago, the popularity of Redis is rocketing ahead with frequent coverage on Hacker News and in the UNIX-focused developer blogosphere. VMware has officially taken on sponsorship of the project by hiring its lead developer, Salvatore Sanfilippo. In his talk, Peter looks at how you can begin using Redis right away, and how Redis provides advantages in areas such as tagging, caching, job distribution, and data indexing.

James Gregory - Introduction to Git

About James
---------------
James is an independent consultant specialising in .Net, and the creator of Fluent NHibernate, a popular .Net open–source project.

He is a short, hairy, opinionated, developer, who is a firm advocate of the right tool for the right job, and designing for maintainability. He believes strongly in the power of open–source development, and contributes to numerous projects.

By day he's a mild–mannered .Net developer consulting for various companies internationally, but at night (and weekends) he's an experimenter, inquisitor, and occasional procrastinator; dabbling in everything from Ruby, to Linux system administration, to standards–compliant website design, and many of the things in–between.

The Talk
----------
Full details of the talk will be added soon.

The talk will be the similar to the one that James is going to be giving at the Norwegian Developers Conference in the middle of June, so if you can't make it to Oslo, come and see James in Hull :-)

We'll have the normal great chat and networking before and after the speakers. The talks will be commencing at 7pm.

See you there!

John
