This presentation is a great overview introduction to MySQL for all those new to MySQL. This provides guidance to the Understanding, Installation, Configuration of the various MySQL Products.

Due to group interest, I will be presenting a MySQL HackFest to my local users group. This will be based on examples from Brian Aker's HackFest that was presented at the recent MySQL Users Conference. In addition I'll be looking at MySQL documentation, debugging techniques and the upcoming MySQL Forge Build Farm.

I will be presenting at the Annual MySQL Users Conference 2006 being held in California, USA at the end of April.
My original proposal. "I'm an Oracle DBA, how do I support MySQL?" grew somewhat to be too much, and has been split into two presentations. "MySQL for Oracle DBA's" and "MySQL for Oracle Developers". The good news is I've been offered a lifeline and Mark Leith of MySQL AB will be taking the DBA talk, while I can focus on the Developers talk.
In addition, Mike Hillyer of MySQL AB will be presenting on "The MySQL Sakila Sample Database". I have been working with Mike in review of this sample database and will be developing a MySQL Salika Sample Application as part of demonstration for my presentation, and to form the basis for possible further articles.
