Last Friday (April 27, 2012) I gave a presentation on Apache ZooKeeper and a lightning talk on Apache HBase at the Near Infinity spring conference -- we have a fall and a spring conference each year with presentations on a wide variety of different subjects.

This past Friday the presentations included Apache Mahout; ZooKeeper; CouchDB apps with ExtJS; Expressive Code; and a lively discussion on development processes (e.g. Scrum, Kanban, XP, customizations to these, other processes, etc.).

Then we always have a bunch of lightning talks - this time included talks on HBase, oh-my-zsh, Chef, Overtone, Twitter Bootstrap, node-java, and Responsive Design. So, a pretty wide variety of current and emerging technologies.

Anyway, I published my talks on slideshare at ZooKeeper and HBase. I also posted the sample code for these presentations on GitHub: ZooKeeper sample code and HBase sample code.
