Just came off today's MySQL University session about How to Build MySQL on Windows - Reggie did a great job on explaining how to build the MySQL Server from Source on Windows using the Microsoft development toolchain and some additional required tools. I am glad to hear that we're making progress on making it easier for Windows developers to work with the source code and Reggie and the other members of our Windows Task Force (what a nice acronym this one makes!) have plenty of other ideas for improving that experience.
If you missed his session, the audio file and IRC log will be published from the MySQL University pages shortly.
And in case you haven't heard about MySQL University before, check out the pages on the MySQL Forge and take a look at the upcoming schedule! Next week, Jan is going to give an introduction to the MySQL Proxy, which will to be an interesting session for sure. Did I mention that attending MySQL University is free and everybody is welcome to join? All you need is an IRC client to post questions and discuss the topic and an application capable of playing OGG audio streams for listening to the presenter. The MySQL Forge Wiki has detailed instructions on how to get going. See you next week!
