Slides from my Memcached Webinar - 560+ registrants

Today, I presented my memcached webinar which was hosted by MySQL/Sun. There were more than 560+ users who registered for the webinar. The topic of the webinar was Designing and Implementing Scalable Applications with Memcached and MySQL.


The recording and slides from the webinar are now available for download:
The call volume was quite high. I had to wait about 7-8 minutes before I could join as a panelist. I don't know why WebEx started using a live operator to verify users instead of using an automated system. That created quite a bottleneck and several users had to wait before they got connected. This is not something I expected from Webex. My apologies to all users who experienced connectivity issues. Thanks to everyone who attended and sent feedback.

Overall, the webinar went great. Monty Taylor, my fellow panelist did a great job. He, however, had a mishap and his line dropped. Jimmy Guerrero then picked from that point on. Upon reconnecting Monty generously answered questions of the attendees. Many thanks, Monty and Jimmy!
