I attended Berlin Buzzwords 2010 for the last two days and aside from meeting a bunch of great people during talks, here are some take away notes from this conference: I got introduced to new stuff — such as HyperTable (c++ bigtable implementation), which I had never heard of before. I actually know a lot more about hadoop, HDFS and tika now than I did before — though I won’t be able to use any a lot of it soon....

Hier die Folien zu meinem Vortrag “PHP in schnell” bei der PHP Usergroup in Berlin im September 2009....
