ahhhh Yessss!!!! I got a chance to blog something:-) The content is going to be about my exprience in a technical meet that took place in chennai on Oct-16.
So i am a part of ILUG-Chennai. I got the info about this meeting in this emailing list. The invite have mentioned about 2 talks in the meet.
1. Cloud computing
2. Mongo DB
I have no idea how far i could understand the above topics they gonna discuss but i am pretty interested to be there atleast to see how the other GEEKS talk and i get chance to interact with them. I went there by 9.45 and found there were 5 members. which later turned as 60 in another half an hour. The meeting got a delayed start of 15 minutes(10.15 AM).
First Session: Cloud Computing
The speaker started with a question. What is cloud? I just said to myself "WaterVapour". Suddenly i heard the same aloud. Happy that someone is there with the same thoughts:-). Turned and saw the Gentleman who was just kidding, but he knows what is cloud. Then the discussion started. I got an idea about what is cloud at last and what are the advantages and disadvantages of it(I have to browse to make sure my understandings are right though). They went on and suddenly a debate happened stating that cloud suits only start ups and not an established company. They quoted few examples Amazon, google etc moving to their own cloud. I was just listening all the GEEKS arguing to prove their point. The scene was awesome. I felt i am no where near them and a long way to go. They talked about moving an application into cloud and moving an application from cloud to inhouse. I could get what they mean but I am really interested to research how these works in practical. Finally a gentleman put a fullstop to the argument saying "Lets go for a BREAK".
Break session was cool. I met a gentleman with whom i have talked with in GYM. He recognised me . Thats great. He is running his own start up, sorry its not a start up anymore. I felt great . Its always cool to interact with people like them. We had a formal intro and he handed over his card to me. While we were talking the gentleman shared a quote with me. This was the quote which Shane Warne said when he heard someone saying Monte Panesar played 20 tests. Shane said "He played his 1st test 19 times". That was a great one. He added that "the quote meant a lot and the main idea is learning from our mistakes. The learning takes you to the next level. If there is no learning you stay at the same level inspite of how many years you work".
Second Session: NoSQL DB. Mongo DB (http://www.mongodb.org)
Back after having a coffee we had a speaker who said the advantages and the disadvantages , implementaion and usage of Mongo DB. This DB has no schema, no SQL , no constraints, not follows any NFs but its a DB. Interesting right? Well i couldn't imagine such a DB so it was really interesting. He quoted many things about the DB. Everything is fine but why we need to go for it? This was a question from everybody and had a very long discussion. Everyone came to a conclusion which didnt explain me a lot. But i came to know something like this exists. The whole idea behind this DB is documentary DB where you can find no tables but data are stores as memory mappings. No Tables no relations and hence no NFs. Neat? . Ok, the one clear idea i got is that we can use this DB where we dont need any relation between our tables. But, how do we design or imagine something without joins, constraints etc. Confused? I am also :-). If we can imagine such a scenario, I think we can use MongoDB. Well they also said in the case of Sharding this plays a very huge role. No idea what sharding is ? Kindly google:-).
PhotoSession:
After the session is done, we had some formal intro with many people talked about starting a new mailing list , Meetings , Google mederator for our community and finally had a group photo. It was actually a opening ceremony of new tech forum and i am very happy that i was there for it.
Enjoyed the whole session with the Tech experts. Looking forward to attend more tech meets like this.
Wish that i should be one of the GEEK out there arguing on things.Ofcourse not just an argument but a valid argument.I am really excited and waiting to blog one such day.But yeah well, "still a looooooooooooong way to go".
