So, I attended the first day of the MySQL user’s conference yesterday, which was the tutorial day. Overall I was fairly impressed. Registration was easy, the actual rooms presentations are given in are comfortable, the PA system seemed to work after some initial problems in the morning tutorial I attended.

The talk, and the demo are both very cool.
My first sighting of the ImageMagick book in the wild
