  • Choking on too much snake oil ..

    Wow. QCon has definitely gone downhill if this type of infomercial by a marketing person is what constitutes a technical talk. I'm left (at the 30 minute mark) wondering if he's ever going to talk about BigData. Floyd, buddy, you gotta do something about this garbage. I'm sure even MongoDB had someone technical that could have talked about something technical.

    Also, for the record, NoSQL predates SQL; see Pick and PrimeOS from the 60s for example. It was the resulting "NoSQL mess" that drove the entire industry to SQL. And the "SQL is just a spreadsheet" nonsense is cute, but FFS back up your opinions with something real, and not just marketing stories.

    Peace,

    Cameron.

    I absolutely agree to Cameron. The content is not in the least what you expect when reading the abstract! It is just some marketing slides without much content...
