Memcached: What is it and what does it do?

Posted on: July 29, 2010
I spoke at CodeWorks in Atlanta, GA this week. ; I totally dropped the ball promoting it on my blog. ; It was a neat venue. ; Rather than a large conference they are doing a traveling show. ; Seven cities in 14 days. ; Many of the presenters are working in every city. ; Crazy. ; I was just in Atlanta. ; It is close to home and easy for me to get to.

I spoke about memcached. ; I tried to dig a bit deeper into how memcached works. ; On the mailing list we get a lot of new people that make assumptions about memcached. ; Most talks I have seen focus on why caching is good, how to use memcached, the performance gain. ; I kind of assumed everyone knew that stuff already. ; I guess you could say I gave a talk that was the real FAQs of the project.

Here are the slides. ; Derick Rethans took video of the talk. ; When he gets that online I will add it to this post.
