MySQL University tomorrow: Checking Memory with Valgrind by Stewart Smith
Since almost a year now, we host a weekly training session for our engineers on Thursday (14:00 UTC winter time), coined the "MySQL University". While it's primary purpose is to share and distribute knowledge about a wide variety of topics relevant to our own developers, many of the sessions are of general interest for developers on other projects as well.
Therefore we hold this sessions in the public and everybody is welcome to attend! You can listen to the presentation via an OGG Audio stream, questions can be posted via IRC on the #mysql-university channel on freenode.net. The audio file and IRC log will be saved, so you can also listen to past university sessions at a later point in time again.
Tomorrow's session will be about using the Valgrind memory checker, held by Stewart Smith, a colleague from Australia who is a member of the MySQL Cluster development team.
The next upcoming sessions include topics more closely related to MySQL Server development:
- February 28: New Optimizer Features in MySQL 6.0 (Sergey Petrunia)
- March 6: How to Add a Collation (Alexander Barkov)
- March 13: Checking Threading and Locking With Helgrind (Stewart Smith)
- March 20: Building MySQL Client Applications (Hartmut Holzgraefe)
See the MySQL University page on the MySQL Forge Wiki for more details and follow the instructions for attendees to get connected.
