NOSQL eXchange 2011
Skills Matter is hosting the first annual NOSQL eXchange this
November. Tom Wilkie will be presenting a whistle-stop tour of
developments in NOSQL and Big Data storage, comparing and contrasting
new storage engines including LevelDB, RethinkDB, Tokutek and Castle.
This ground breaking one-day conference will also feature expert talks
on Cassandra, MongoDB, CouchDB, Riak, and Neo4J. Follow #nosqlx for

Ian Robinson and Jim Webber's Neo4J Tutorial
"Graph databases like Neo4j are an esoteric and powerful member of
the NOSQL family. For highly connected data, graph databases can be
thousands of times faster than relational databases, making Neo4j
popular for managing complex data across many domains from finance to
social, and telecoms to geospatial. This intensive two-day tutorial
provides a mixture of theory and hands-on practical sessions to
demonstrate the capabilities of graph data and the Neo4j database. Find

establishing the proper backup and restore routines. We'll present ideal
hardware configurations and discuss common pitfalls for new deployments.
The course also includes an overview of the MongoDB CRUD API, the
command shell, and the drivers. Find out more

Brian Sletten's Semantic Web Technologies Bootcamp
Brian Sletten's five day Semantic Web Technologies Bootcamp provides a
broad, example-driven and compelling vision of computing's future.
Organisations are struggling with data integration solutions that
operate at the wrong level of abstraction or are shackled to legacy
systems with no idea of how to modernize incrementally. Their
service-oriented architectures decompose business processes into
services without the ability to identify and protect the information
that flows through these services. In this course, you will learn how
the technical and business value of Web semantics is available and
useful today behind firewalls as well as on the public Web.

Udi Dahan's Advanced Distributed Systems Design with SOA
This very intensive 5-day workshop will help you take the pain out
of designing large-scale distributed systems. New technologies make it
easier to comply with today’s communications and security standards, but
they won't magically provide you with a robust and scalable system. Join
Udi for a course packed with the wisdom of companies like SUN, Amazon
and eBay. Tried-and-true theories and fallacies will be shown, helping
you to avoid costly mistakes. Communications patterns like
publish/subscribe and correlated one-way request/response will be
demonstrated, in conjunction with advanced object-oriented state
management practices for long-running workflows. If you enjoy deep
architectural discussion, join! To find out more, please go
