Guys,

When: Wednesday 25th March @ 6:30pm
Where: YouDo, Level 2, 10 Cambridge Terrace
Location: http://www.zoomin.co.nz/?search/place/youdo
* If the door is closed use the buzzer and we'll let you in.

This month we have two presentations:

The is a quick mini presentation by Will Bryant showing off a handy
plugin he has developed which loads big columns (BLOBs, TEXT etc) on
demand (aka. lazy loading) without any code changes throughout your
app.

Then our main speaker Michael Koziarski will be presenting and taking
questions on using Solr and why he thinks it's the best option for the
work he is doing. Solr is a high performance search server built
using Lucene Java, with XML/HTTP and JSON/Python/Ruby APIs, hit
highlighting, faceted search, caching, replication, and a web admin
interface.

As this is the final in a series of search engine based presentations,
and Michael has a good depth of knowledge on this topic, we are
expecting a good deal of interactive discussion / presentation action
happening - hence it taking up most of the meeting. So come prepared
with questions!


Next Month:

My plan for next month to focus on the coolness that is Rails 2.3.


Cheers,
Nahum.
